Patient's question:
Candidal balanitis, can I use Shiduqing ointment? It stings so much when applied, I had to wash it off right away. Can balanitis be treated with Shiduqing ointment?Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis of balanoposthitis is generally caused by Candida albicans infection. It is very common, with the main clinical manifestation being redness of the glans. Some cases may present with recurrent red rashes on the glans and foreskin, along with scales. Treatment primarily involves antifungal therapy. Completely clearing the fungal infection, such as by applying bifonazole cream, can lead to recurrent balanitis. Long-term medication is often required, and for male patients, it is important to seek professional and reputable medical attention. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and proper diet should be maintained. Sexual activity should be avoided.
