Patient's question:
The glans is dry with local redness. The doctor said it's candidal balanitis, but after using medication for over a month, it hasn't improved. I asked other doctors on a mobile app, and they said it's caused by excessive foreskin, not inflammation. Whom should I believe?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient's statement, the patient is experiencing balanitis and balanoposthitis. The fundamental cause of both conditions is due to excessive foreskin. It is recommended that the patient clean the area daily and apply Clotrimazole Cream after cleaning. Avoid spicy foods, beer, and engage in safe sex. If possible, it is advisable to undergo circumcision. Faced with the dangers of balanitis, it is important to actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If balanitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
