Patient's question:
Candidal balanitis has been treated with medication for two weeks. In the first week, the small ulcers healed. Then, a few days later, the skin in the areas where the ulcers had healed turned white.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and the pictures, it appears that you may still have some balanoposthitis. Currently, it is still recommended that you clean the foreskin and glans area daily with plain water to maintain local hygiene, while also using external povidone-iodine for local sterilization treatment to see how it goes. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
