Patient's question:
Phimosis, over half a month. Applying medication, it gets better then returns. There are red spots on the glans with itching, but no other symptoms. Currently applying Terbinafine Cream, can this cream be used?Doctor's answer:
I applied some medication myself, and it got better. Then, when the condition recurred, there was itching again. Balanitis is a disease caused by bacterial infection. If you apply some medication and the symptoms disappear, that's fine. However, if the symptoms don't improve or worsen, in addition to the recurring episodes you've experienced, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up. This is because the transmitted bacteria and the severity can vary, so patients need to take oral medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
