Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable on my glans recently, and noticed some small bumps on it. The doctor said it's fungal balanitis. I was quite upset at the time, bought some medication, and have been taking it recently. The effect is quite good. Where does balanitis manifest?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis, a fungal infection of the glans penis, often presents as erythema of the glans mucosa, local edema, a greasy appearance, slight scaling along the edges, and may include papules and pustules that spread outward, forming a fungal balanitis disorder. Recurrent candidal balanitis can lead to dryness of the prepuce, fibrosis, and the progressive worsening of. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment.
