Patient's question:
Mycotic balanitis has been going on for about a year. After using clotrimazole, there was redness and swelling at the junction of the coronal sulcus. Now it's itchy and still swollen. The local doctor previously said the swelling was due to an allergy to clotrimazole and recommended using Daktarin, followed by Eucerin cream. A few days of use didn't show any improvement, and it's getting worse. How can this be resolved? Seeking help.Doctor's answer:
I'm very happy to help you solve your problem. Oh, the situation with recurrent genital infections has the best solution, which is to undergo a circumcision surgery. With the glans completely exposed, it generally won't transmit infections. It's recommended to replace all underwear. Patients directly affected by balanitis should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If balanitis doesn't improve with treatment, it's important to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
