Patient's question:
What cream can be used for balanitis? Previously, I noticed white scales in the coronal sulcus of the foreskin, which would fall off when rubbed. The doctor diagnosed it as balanitis and prescribed a cream for me to apply. After applying it, when it hardened, the coronal sulcus became congested, red, and purple, and the urethral orifice on both sides turned blue. Previously, it was only white discharge. Can this cream be used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis can be used, but the coronal sulcus of the glans is quite sensitive. Sometimes, if a man has long foreskin and thin glans skin, it is not suitable to use hormone-stimulating drugs. Most balanoposthitis is caused by bacterial infection, primarily treated with anti-inflammatory measures. There is also a portion of fungal infections, for which topical antifungal creams can be applied. If there is itching, antihistamines can be used. In fact, having a urological disease is not, patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
