Prolonged Itchy foreskin
I am a 38 year old male living outside India. A few weeks ago I developed a very itchy foreskin which was diagnosed as a fungal infection and was prescribed an oitnment. Within 5 days it cleared up but a week later its started itching again and won't seem to stop. I am now applying Forsuderm ointment and Clotrimazole cream 1%. Its been around 5 days since I  started using these 2 creams but no major improvement. The itching is severe especially in the afternoon onwards. I have no other major symptoms like discharge, pain while urinating etc. I bathe twice a day and pull back my foreskin and clean with warm water and dry properly as well. Please do let me know if this situation can improve with the oitnments prescribed? Thank you

Hello, we cannot confirm if it actually is fungal or not without photos. Even if it is, forsuderm or clotrimazole both wouldn't work. Clotrimazole almost never works and no point using forsuderm on an itchy skin. We'd have to see pictures to be able to diagnose
