Patient's question:
I am a male, 23 years old, with redness, itching, and peeling of the glans. Without washing for one night, it is covered with white bean curd-like secretions. I suspect it is a fungal infection. Please ask: What should I do if I get balanitis caused by fungi?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if there is redness, itching, and peeling of the glans, and there are often white, curd-like secretions, this may be considered a fungal infection. In such cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean the affected area daily, and use some cleaning solutions to alleviate discomfort. During treatment, avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods to avoid worsening the condition.
