Q: Corticosteroid side effects
asked by: ienjoyhealth on June 7th, 2009

I am 26 years old.
Because of the occasional itching on the lower side of the penis - on the foreskin and glans, by doctors recommendation, i've used Sinoderm (fluocinolone acetonide neomycinum.Produced by: ICN Galenika, Belgrade, Serbia). The medicine made tiny dilated blood vessels appear on my glans(they look like red pinheads).

Afterward i was recommended to use baking soda mixed with water (20 grams of baking soda in one liter of water) for this itching, and after 4 weeks of application a pinkish circle appeared on my scrotum which spread towards my legs. Where it spread the skin there became very very itchy. When it had reached the legs a couple of days latter it stopped spreading but also caused some glands there to start constantly secreting some stinky and sticky yellow liquid. My skin on the scrotum is now pink and doesn't itch that much anymore, but also it is macerated and constantly wet because the glands work non-stop at secreting this yellow liquid.

Also after this treatment i've experienced occasional appearances of redness on the inner side of foreskin which usually subside on their own after 2-4 days. I was recommended by a doctor to use Triderm (Betamethasone Dipropionate Clotrimazolum Gentamycin. Produced by: Schering - Plough) for this occasional redness on the foreskin. The application of triderm produced an edema (as well as constant redness and some tiny blood vessels) that appeared on the upper (dorsal) side of my penis. I experience an occasional rupture of the skin because of this dilated state.
I want to know the following:
1)Is there any medication with which side effects (redness, edema, teleangiectasias) from corticosteroids can be cured? From what I heard from a friend there is some medicine which is used to treat these side effects on the face.
2)Also is there any way for me to see what exactly is this yellow sticky liquid and what happened to my skin there? I hear that baking soda can ruin the skin and cause the sebaceous glands to start overworking.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks for reading all of this.
