Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How to prevent and treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
How to Treat Candidal Balanitis1. Early onset of erythema, scattered pinpoint-sized red papules on the surface, covered with point-like cheesy secretions and pustules. In severe cases, it may lead to erosion and exudation.
2. Direct microscopic examination of the discharge reveals Candida spores and hyphae.
3. Patients often have a history of long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics or corticosteroids, or they may have diabetes. Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, with treatment decisions based on thorough examination results. Proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should also be observed. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
