Patient's question:
It has already started with white granular particles on the glans. After one injection, it improved, and the white disappeared, but now it has turned red again. There have been some instances of unprotected sex. Is this a sexually transmitted disease or balanitis?Doctor's answer:
You should be suffering from genital candidiasis, which is caused by infectious fungi or yeasts. If you or your family members have athlete's foot, it proves that there is a source of infection in your home. The clinical manifestations include red bumps on the genital area, which turn white and peel off after a few days, followed by shallow ulcers that do not heal or persistent itching. Regarding the unclean sexual contact you mentioned, it is necessary to have lab tests to diagnose whether other diseases may be transmitted, as the symptoms do not indicate this for the time being. Moreover, for male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
