My son has buttons at the level of the penis and it itches... I specify at the top of the penis... Can I put canesten instead of dhile paste?

Hello Ma'am,

What do you mean by upstairs?

On the pubic bone?

Thanks for the details.

In such a case, it may be due to moisture, especially if he is still wearing diapers.

In such a case, I would tend to try 0.5% hydrocortisone cream first with a thin layer application twice a day, taking care to rub the cream into the skin to prevent it from getting all lodged in the diaper or underwear.

Canesten™ is unlikely to help unless the skin is very red and inflamed.

In the next few days, try to leave the penis out in the air as much as possible to allow ventilation of the area and reduce moisture.

If it's still there on Monday, or if it's worse after applying the cream, we'll go see a doctor.

Good night!

Alexander
