How should the problem of balanitis be solved?

Patient's question:

Candida balanitis, previously treated with miconazole nitrate for 10 days, the red bumps have disappeared, and there is no peeling anymore. However, now there are a few rings of redness on the foreskin, which are hard like plastic, and the glans feels a bit exposed. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If there is phimosis, it is also possible to recur. Consider using potassium permanganate for scrubbing. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene care. Eat more light and nutritious foods, and do not blindly use medication. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet.
