I was prescribed a cream (2x a day) of Monistat 2% and hydrocortisone 1% for irritation/redness on the glans. I put 7 days of it and there was an improvement, but it's not completely gone. Is there a maximum number of days I can take this medication?

As far as symptoms are concerned, it was mostly redness/irritation with a burning sensation that comes and goes and like small patches. With the cream, the redness decreased, but the small patches did not go away completely.

Okay, merci!

I wouldn't say it's completely gone (especially at the end of the day that it seems to get worse). Maybe the rubbing with clothes. I feel like it could be eczema or psoriasis. But, I got some unflavored soap, I wash it 1x/d and wipe it well. I think it should go away with time with these methods.

Hello,

The symptoms have not improved since stopping the medication. The redness is still a bit present, but the skin is even drier than before. At the level of the shaft (skin under the glans), the skin peels (small flakes) which I did not have before the cream. However, I only wash with water at the moment and I am careful not to rub too much. Could it be an effect of the medication that continues despite the fact that I stopped taking it 8 days ago?
