Patient's question:
Gland redness and peeling The glans is red and swollen with white peeling, and there are very few small blistersDoctor's answer:
Hello, you have peeling on your glans along with redness and small blisters, which is likely caused by a Candida infection leading to candidal balanitis. If you have a history of unsafe sexual contact, it cannot be ruled out that it might be genital herpes. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases. For Candida infection, a fungal direct examination can be performed for diagnosis, and treatments such as topical nystatin can be used. The redness and swelling of the glans can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should have a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
