Hello Royden,

I understand how uncomfortable and worrying these symptoms must be for you. From what you describe cuts on foreskin, whitish layer under glans, with a background of diabetes this suggests Balanitis but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ Immediate Care

👉Maintain strict hygiene – wash with lukewarm water (avoid harsh soaps).

👉After washing, dry the area gently. Moisture promotes fungal growth.

👉Avoid synthetic/ tight underwear – use clean, loose cotton ones.

✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION

1. Nimbadi Kashayam – 15 ml-0-15ml with 30 ml warm water twice daily after food (antifungal & blood purifier).

2. Triphala Guggulu – 1-0-1 twice daily after food (reduces infection & inflammation).

3 Gandhak Rasayan – 2 -0-2 twice daily after food (antimicrobial & healing).

4. Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tabs twice daily (urinary & genital health, balances diabetes tendency).

✅EXTERNAL LOCAL. APPLICATION

👉Wash affected area with Triphala decoction (lukewarm).

👉Apply Neem oil (mixed with coconut oil) gently on foreskin.

👉If burning/ cuts are painful → apply Aloe vera pulp locally for soothing.

✅LIFESTYLE AND DIET MODIFICATION

👉Strict diabetic diet: avoid excess sugar, fried/oily foods, bakery, alcohol.

👉Include neem leaves, turmeric, bitter gourd, methi seeds in diet.

👉Stay hydrated with warm water.

👉Practice yoga like Vajrasana after meals and daily walking.

Since balanitis may recur with diabetes, keep regular check on blood sugar.

Continue Ayurvedic treatment for at least 6 weeks for proper healing.

With regular hygiene, controlled sugar, and Ayurvedic support, balanitis can be managed effectively and recurrence prevented.

Wish you a good health😊

Warm Regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO ROYDEN,

You are having -Cuts on foreskin-> due to repeated inflammation + dryness + infection -Whitish deposit under glans (head of penis)-> usually fungal infection (candida) in men with diabetes -History of diabetes (even if under control)-> increases sugar in tissues, which promotes fungal and bacterial growth

This condition is called Balanitis (inflammation of glans/foreskin)

In Ayurveda, -This is mainly a Kapha-pitta imbalance in shukravaha srotas (reproductive system channels) -Diabetes (madhumeha) itself causes kapha +meda (fat) accumulation , lowering immunity and making infections easy -hence, cuts= pittaja vrana (ulcers/wounds), white discharge= kaphaja upadrava

TREATMENT GOALS -relieve current infection and inflammation - reduce white deposits, cuts, pain -improve local healing of foreskin and prevent recurrence -balance diabetes and immunity- internal medicines -promotes hygiene and lifestyle changes so balanitis does not keep coming back

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS (LOCAL CARE)

1) CLEANSING -Triphala decoction wash -prepare by boiling 1 tsp triphala powder in 2 cups water-> reduce to1 cup -> cool lukewarm -wash foreskin/glans once or twice daily -WHY= triphala is antiseptic, antifungal, wound healing

Neem decoction wash -boil handful of neem leave sin 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, cook to lukewarm -alternate with triphala -WHY= neem is antifungal, antibacterial, blood purifier

2) APPLICATION -Fresh aloe vera pulp= apply thin layer, keep 15-20 min, wash gently -Coconut oil + turmeric (pinch)= apply before sleeping, coconut oil soothes and turmeric is antimicrobial

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) GUDUCHI CAPSULES= 500 mg cap twice daily with lukewarm water =immunity booster, blood purifier, helps control diabetes

2) NIMBA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily after meals =antifungal, antibacterial, reduces infection tendency

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice edialy after meals =classical ayurvedic formulation for genitourinary infections and madhumeha

4) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =wound healing, anti-inflammatory, helps small cuts heals faster

5) HARIDRA + AMALAKI POWDER= 1 tsp daily with warm water =antioxidant, improves immunity, balances kapha-pitta

DURATION= minimin 6 weeks

LIFESTYLE CHANGES

GENITAL HYGIENE -wash daily with plain lukewarm water or herbal decoctions -always dry gently moisture encourages fungal growth -Wear loose cotton underwear -change undergarments twice daily if sweating

BLOOD SUGAR MONITORING -even if “controlled” check fasting, postprandial, HbA1c -fluctuations often worsen balanitis

DIET -bitterfoods= neem, karela, methi -turmeric in cooking -amla, triphala -light meals= green vegetables, whole grains, moong dal -warm water for drinknig

AVOID -excess sugar, jaggery, sweets -white bread, refined flour heavy fried foods -curd at night, excess dairy -alcohol, smoking

YOGA ASANAS -ardha matsyendrasana -pawanmuktasana -vajrasana after meals -paschimottanasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 10-15 min daily -bhramari for stress control

HOME REMEDIES -1/2 tsp turmeric with warm milk daily morning -chew 5-7 neem leaves daily on empty stomach -mix 1 tsp aloe vera juice + 1/2 tsp turmeric + warm water drink once daily -apply coconut oil locally at night for soothing effect

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Royden,

Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. Your case of controlled diabetes (without medication) with recurrent cuts on foreskin and whitish deposits under glans suggests genital candidiasis / balanitis, which is very common in people with diabetes due to Kapha–Pitta imbalance, Madhumeha (Prameha) dushti, and local infection. The approach will focus on cleansing local infection, healing cuts, preventing recurrence, and balancing blood sugar naturally.

🔎 Recommended Investigations 1. Fasting & Post-prandial Blood Sugar, HbA1c – to check glucose control. 2. Urine routine & culture – to rule out infection. 3. Swab test of lesion (if persistent) – to confirm fungal/yeast infection.

💊 Internal Medicines

1. Nimba ghan vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (anti-fungal, blood purifier). 2. Gokshuradi guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (urinary tract & diabetes support). 3. Triphala churna – 3 g at bedtime with lukewarm water (mild detox, regulates sugar & heals tissues).

🍀 External Application 1. Triphala decoction wash – prepare lukewarm decoction of Triphala, wash affected area twice daily (cleans infection & promotes healing). 2. Coconut oil + turmeric paste – apply thin layer over cuts twice daily (anti-fungal & wound healing). 3. Aloe vera gel (fresh) – can be applied once daily to soothe burning/irritation. 🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Tips

✅ Include: 1.Bitter foods: neem, methi (fenugreek), karela (bitter gourd). 2.Warm water daily, herbal teas (ginger–tulsi). 3.Fiber-rich diet – whole grains, vegetables.

❌ Avoid: 1.Excess sweets, bakery items, refined flour. 2.Fermented foods (bread, alcohol), as they worsen yeast infections. 3.Tight synthetic undergarments – prefer loose cotton.

🧘🏻‍♂️ Lifestyle 1. Maintain proper hygiene – wash & dry area after urination and before sleep.

📌 Follow up - With regular practice, cuts should heal in 2–3 weeks. - If whitish discharge persists, or you feel burning while urination, further medical evaluation is needed. - Long-term control of blood sugar (through lifestyle + Ayurveda) will prevent recurrence.

✨ With consistent care, your foreskin cuts and infection can heal naturally while keeping diabetes under balance.

With kind regards, Dr. Sumi
