Patient's question:
Lower body odor is very severe, and the glans is red, swollen, and itchy, with a fishy odor. Is balanitis considered an allergy?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of balanitis. It is generally caused by local poor hygiene and infection. The red spots on the area are a result of an allergic reaction. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules orally and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole externally. The glans and foreskin should be washed with physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt. The foreskin can recover, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
