I was prescribed lotrisone for a fungal infection in the groin area and on the penis. I used it for 2 weeks, went back to the doctor and with redness. The doctor recommended that I continue the lotrisone and prescribed again. I used it for 6 weeks. When I realized it had caused skin atrophy and immediately stopped. The fungal infection is gone but I now have damage from the steroid. It has been over two months since stopping and I still have a constant burning sensation on the penis, skin atrophy on the foreskin, redness that does not go away. Steroids are to be used judiciously and should not be used more than ONE WEEK on the groin. If you have been prescribed this medication BE CAREFUL, if you are a physician and prescribe lotrisone for guys to put on their penis you should know that you may very well be causing a lot of damage to that person. I have discovered however that a great majority of MDs are quite ignorant of the nasty side effects of topical steroids and prescribe it routinely without any regard for the patient.

Over the summer mostly, I get itchy in my vaginal region and that is when I take Lotrisone. It cools down the burning I feel and makes me be able to do more because I don't have to lay down all day. It's a put on and go kind of medicine that does not make me drowsy.
