Why is candidal balanoposthitis not treatable?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: There is a red rash at the front of the glans, a red rash-like condition near the coronal sulcus (like peeling off a layer of skin), a mucous-like discharge in the foreskin, and white, peeling-like discharge on the glans and inner foreskin. There is no obvious itching or pain.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Candidal balanoposthitis has been gradually increasing in recent years and can occur. Candidal balanoposthitis is often confused with bacterial infection. The active ingredients of Prason cream are miconazole nitrate and triamcinolone acetonide. Miconazole nitrate belongs to imidazole derivatives, which not only have broad-spectrum antifungal effects but also have good antibacterial effects on Gram-positive bacteria; Triamcinolone acetonide is a medium to high-potency corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-swelling and pain-relieving effects, which can quickly and effectively relieve skin symptoms. When used together, they can reduce inflammation and itching at the fungal infection site, produce a synergistic effect, and reduce the efficacy.
