Aibu to ask how to actually get rid for once and for all?! I've had athletes foot which has left me with an itchy sole for 6 months now. But worse, my poor 4yo Ds had balanitis (a bit like foreskin thrush) for 4 months now, it's the second time this year, it looks like it's clear but the irritation persists and makes him think he needs to urinate every hour day and night. From 2am last night he was up every 1hr or even 30 mins. He doesn't actually go, because his bladder is empty. We've tried 3 different creams. The only thing that helps is using hydrocortisone cream for 2 weeks, but a few days after stopping that the irritation is back. The doctors haven't actually seen him, offered an appointment in 4wks time. So an turning to mumsnet. How do you actually make these really persistent fucking fungal infections go?!
