Patient's question:
For balanitis, I used the topical corticosteroid cream prescribed by the doctor, triamcinolone acetonide cream. The skin under the glans has become red. Should I stop using it? How long should I stop using it for a full recovery? The glans has already healed.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, a 20-year-old male experienced local redness again after using triamcinolone acetonide for balanitis. He wants to know how to resolve this issue. In your case, it is first necessary to consider whether the redness is due to an allergic reaction caused by the use of triamcinolone acetonide. It is recommended to first stop using triamcinolone acetonide, then clean the area thoroughly, dry it with a hairdryer, and then apply Nystatin cream topically for treatment. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since the symptoms of the patient are different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, the patient needs to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure the correct treatment.
