Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and would be happy to help. I suggest the below treatment plan. Take Tablet Doxycycline 100 mg once a day after food for five days. Use Permite BB soap (Permethrin) for two months. Use Fucibet cream (Betamethasone and Fusidic Acid) to be applied during the daytime for ten days. Consult a specialist doctor, talk to him or her, and start the treatment. Also, I suggest you practice safe sex, use barriers, avoid stress and stay relaxed. Do you have fever, itching or burning sensation of the penis, increased urinary frequency, dysuria, or hazy urine? Kindly revert with answers to the above questions. Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the response. The acne were burning when I was having sex today. I had fever last weekend for which I took tablet Paracetamol. I have itching in my private area. Also, I do not have an increase in urination or pain, and the color of my urine is yellow.
