Is candidal balanitis easy to treat?

Patient's question:

I also noticed red spots and needle-like blisters on the glans. I know very little about this condition and hope to get some help. I clean it every day, but my classmates say there's a smell on me. Is candidal balanoposthitis easy to treat?

Doctor's answer:

Balanoposthitis often manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, and worsening during urination, with purulent secretions possibly dripping from the meatus. Balanitis is generally treated both internally and externally. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, contact with certain chemicals and trauma are also important factors. In summary, smegma, urine irritation, certain chemicals, contact and friction from clothing, and trauma are significant factors in the development of balanitis.
