Male, Balanitis, Peanut allergy

[Guest guest]

Hi my name is I am a 28 year old male

A little over a year ago I contracted Candida which was almost

certainly sexually transmitted from a female as the symptoms flared up

24 hours later.

It has subsequently transformed into what I believe to be Balanitis as

a result of Candida.

It seems to be localized rather than systemic as I have not

encountered problems anywhere else.

But I am not certain how to properly delineate those boundaries.

Initially my symptoms were lesions/sores under the foreskin, yeast

like build-up and odour, itching and redness.

I was cleared of all other STDs and was assured it was stricly a skin

problem.

I have tried Caneston (with and without steroids) which did very

little to help

Fluconazole relieved symptoms fully then came back shortly after

Loprox relieved symtpoms fully then came back

I tried all of these never being informed of any diet restrictions.

Over the past year my symptoms have decreased some, although now it is

much more difficult to retract the foreskin on my penis when I am not

using any Loprox.

I have no health insurance so Loprox is getting expensive, but when I

do not use it I experience dryness, peeling and regenerating, and

redness under the foreskin.

These symptoms are greatly aggravated by friction.

Any general advice would be greatly appreciated if you anything to

offer, but I suppose my main questions are:

Should I be using a topcial antifungal directly under the foreskin of

my penis, like loprox, while on Bee's regimen? If so which one? Or

perhaps I should just monitor how it reacts to the diet without any

topical antifungal?

I am also allergic to nuts (and coconuts) is there anything I shuold

stay away from in the diet besides the coconut oil? (there are a lot

of extracts and such that I have never heard of)

It has been over a year and I am at the point where I am considering

circumcision. I am not keen on it but am open to it.

Some doctors maintain that it is the way to rid myself of the

irritation/balanitis. Others are dead set against it, saying it should

clear up, but keep prescribing me loprox..

The website is incredible,

Many thanks,
