Patient's question:
Penile redness and itching, small red spots inside the glans, red patches on the glans, and Clindamycin didn't help either. Previously, applying something would resolve it, but now it's unclear if it's a disease?Doctor's answer:
Penile redness and itching, small red spots on the glans indicate balanitis, which is generally related to fungal infection. It is recommended to send a photo for confirmation. Fungal balanitis can be treated with fluconazole intravenous injection and topical application of ciclopiroxolamine cream. Both sexual partners should undergo thorough examination or treatment. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene.
