Patient's question:
Carefully checked, I have mold balanitis. Usually, there's nothing wrong, but if I don't wash down there for a few days, there's a bad smell and red spots. Is there a good and convenient way to treat it?I've been given injections for three days—Fluconazole and NACL saline solution, and saline. I also had two sessions of red light therapy and ozone. I bought bicarbonate of soda baths and miconazole cream myself, but I don't feel like it's working well. How should I treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanoposthitis is more common in individuals with excessive foreskin, a history of unprotected sex, and mild erythema of the penis foreskin and glans. White cheesy patches may be present on the inner foreskin and glans sulci. The glans may have pinpoint-sized pale red papules. If it affects the external foreskin and scrotum, it may present as scaly erythema. If the navicular fossa is involved, symptoms such as frequent urination and dysuria may occur. Local symptoms may include burning sensation and itching. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
