Balanoposthitis
My doctor had diagnosed me for balanoposthitis and had given me fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily for 15 days then again gave me for 15 more days. Why is he giving me this allergy medicine that too high dose
The medicine doesn't seem to have any effect regardless of if i eat it or not 😑. Why is he giving me this medicine more and more?

The medicine is to reduce the itch and inflammation to a certain extent. But you would need creams and also oral medicines to treat the cause. There are several causes of balanoposthitis, and you will be treated accordingly. Please send pictures
