Patient's question:
A month ago, I noticed small red spots on the glans, but there were no other discomforts, and I had no unsafe sex. Applying Clotrimazole cream for a few days didn't help. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis, caused by excessive colonization of Candida, leads to acute or chronic inflammation in the glans and inner foreskin. It is recommended to use Jieryin for cleaning, followed by applying sodium pyrithione cream or clotrimazole cream, which can alleviate current symptoms and gradually restore the skin to its normal state. Pay attention to external genital hygiene and sexual hygiene, as these are preventive measures. It is advisable to regularly clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If phimosis or excessive foreskin is present, circumcision should be performed.
