Patient's question:
Previously, I had balanitis with red spots on the glans. I applied miconazole for a week, and there were no red spots on the glans. Last night, I stopped applying it, and this morning there were red spots again. Before, there were also flare-ups when I temporarily stopped using it.Doctor's answer:
Regarding your symptoms, it is highly necessary to visit the urology department for a follow-up examination. Actively cooperate with the doctor to determine whether it is balanitis so that early symptomatic treatment and resolution can be achieved. Pay attention to maintaining personal hygiene at all times, wear loose cotton clothing, and avoid irritation from poor-fitting clothes. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as this will be beneficial to your health. For severe cases of balanitis, seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch to new medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
