Patient's question:
There are many small red spots on the head of the penis, as if they are growing from within the epidermis. What's going on? At first, there were only red spots with a bit of itching, and I bought some red berry cream to apply, which worked. A few days later, they reappeared, and using it again had no effect. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was fungal balanitis and prescribed medication, which I used for half a month but didn't improve. Frustrated. What medicine should I use? Is there a fast-acting medicine that won't cause recurrence?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis usually occurs in young and middle-aged adults. Due to reasons such as excessive sebaceous gland secretion and moist external genitalia, or the transmission of bacteria to men during sexual intercourse with women, it can lead to male candidal balanitis. Timely treatment is necessary to prevent it from affecting the health of the male reproductive system. Under the guidance of experts, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to diet and lifestyle in daily life. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Actively seek medical attention and treat based on examination results. Also, pay attention to proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
