Corticosteroid problem and yellow liquid on genitalia(HELP)

Post a new topicby faithpill on Tue Jun 09, 2009 4:21 am

I am 26 years old.
I have side effects from using corticosteroids topicaly on my penis. I used corticosteroid medicine Triderm (Betamethasone Dipropionate + Clotrimazolum + Gentamycin. Produced by: Schering - Plough) by doctor's recommendation to help me relieve an itch and an occasional redness on my skin which subsides on its own after 2-4 days. After usage an edema with some teleangiectasias and redness appeared on the upper dorsal side of my penis. And it is chronic and it doesn't go away on its own.
Before that by doctor's recommendation I used 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.
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.
