A penis infection lasting more than four months should not be treated with self-medication because the exact cause may vary, such as a fungal infection, bacterial infection, sexually transmitted infection, or a skin condition like dermatitis. Each condition requires a different treatment, and using the wrong medicine can worsen the problem or delay healing. It is important to consult a dermatologist or urologist for proper examination, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.

A long-standing foot fungal infection (Tinea pedis) often becomes chronic if steroid creams like Clobeta or Beclomethasone are used, as they worsen the fungus, so these should be stopped. Since it has lasted 5 years, consult a dermatologist for tests and proper long-term treatment to fully clear the infection.

Long-lasting infection on the penis is usually Tinea or sometimes Candidiasis, and it often becomes chronic if steroid creams like Clobeta-GM. Keep the area very clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear. Since it has lasted many months, please consult a dermatologist for tests (like fungal scraping) to confirm the diagnosis and rule out resistant infection or other conditions.

In Eczema, itching and dark patches can occur, but using strong steroid creams like Clobeta-GM for long periods can damage skin and worsen pigmentation. Cetirizine helps itching, but you should switch to a mild steroid or simple moisturizer instead, and use a good emollient regularly to keep skin hydrated. Avoid scratching, harsh soaps, and tight clothing. If the patch is spreading or not improving, consult a doctor to confirm it is eczema and not a fungal infection, as treatment differs.

Ringworm on the face (Tinea faciei) usually worsens with steroid creams like Clobetasol, so they are not useful and should be stopped. Instead, use a proper antifungal cream like Luliconazole or Clotrimazole twice daily for 3-4 weeks, even after it looks better. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid touching or sharing towels, and do not apply any steroid creams. If it keeps spreading, consult a doctor for oral antifungal treatment.

Skin darkening after a water or climate change is usually due to dryness, irritation, or mild Hyperpigmentation. Focus on gentle care rather than strong medicines. Use a good moisturiser daily and a mild cream like Kojic acid or Azelaic acid at night to improve skin tone. Always apply sunscreen in the daytime, avoid harsh soaps, and stay hydrated. If the darkness persists or spreads, consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation.
