Can fungal balanitis be improved? Is it necessary to have the foreskin removed?

Patient's question:

I was infected by my sexual partner six months ago. Every time I drink beer, I get sick. There is an odor and discharge in the coronal sulcus, and upon close inspection, there are several small bumps. Previously, it didn't hurt or itch, but recently I've felt mild pain.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition exhibits symptoms of fungal balanitis, which typically includes itching, odor, increased discharge, and rashes on the glans. It is important to actively treat your condition. I recommend starting with rest and a light, warm, easily digestible diet. It is advisable to apply ketoconazole cream externally to the affected area and take fluconazole tablets for two weeks. Additionally, taking terfenadine tablets and vitamin C can help alleviate symptoms. removal is not necessarily required. Wishing you good health.
