Patient's question:
Is candidal balanitis serious? How is it treated? What are the symptoms? How is it infected?Doctor's answer:
Due to the active excretion of sebaceous glands in young and middle-aged adults, the external genital area is moist, and combined with wearing thicker underwear or insufficient cleaning of the external genital area, it is very easy for mold to take root in the air or blood in this area. The head of the penis and penile skin become itchy and burning, which is the most common symptom of this condition. It has a certain level of transmissibility. Rinse the head of the penis and foreskin with physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt, apply antifungal creams such as clotrimazole cream, Fungizone cream, or miconazole nitrate cream. Balanitis can be stabilized.
