Patient's question:
At first, a big blister formed on the corona, it was very itchy. After it burst, there was no pain or itching. I washed it with water and applied erythromycin. On the third day, there was some redness and swelling, but after three days of treatment, it didn't improve. Now, there is a small area of erosion on the glans, specifically where the blister reappeared as an ulcer. During those itchy days, I had toothache and took metronidazole, which the instructions say can cause Candida to have an endocrine imbalance.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be symptoms caused by herpes simplex or a fungal infection. You can try using topical ointment for treatment. It is recommended that you first visit the urology department of a hospital for examination. A secretion test can be conducted to clarify the condition. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, symptomatic treatment should be administered for better results. Randomly using medication may lead to drug resistance. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly.
