Patient's question:
I recently noticed white cheesy patches in my foreskin and on the coronal sulcus of my glans, as well as needle-sized pale red papules on the glans. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I had balanoposthitis. What are the common causes of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
You should consider this to be fungal balanoposthitis, which is generally caused by transmission from contact with fungi. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, use povidone-iodine for sterilization and apply, then ketoconazole cream. Do not have sex in the near future. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
