Is this balanitis?

Patient's question:

At first, the area between my thighs and the gap was very itchy, on both sides. Later, it spread wildly. I looked, and the itchy areas had some slightly red skin and some very dry skin. I used Jibin cream, but it seemed to get worse. Not only did it itch more, but it also became somewhat sore and painful, as if some of the skin was starting to pus. It has now spread to the scrotum.
Past treatment and effectiveness: Using Jibin cream made it worse.
What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, is there any cream that can cure this, or should I take something internally?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the symptoms you mentioned, what you are suffering from should be tinea cruris, which is a fungal infectious disease. Incomplete treatment can easily lead to recurrence.
Recommendations: This condition is primarily treated with topical medications. It is recommended that you apply Pranarone ointment externally. The topical application duration should be approximately one to two months. At the same time, you should pay attention to local hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.
Scrotal inflammation can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
