Is the burning sensation on the glans caused by fungal infection?

Patient's question:

The glans continued to have a burning sensation for a week with no other symptoms. Using povidone-iodine in combination with erythromycin for four days showed no significant improvement. Tonight, when the glans was erect, small red dot-like acne appeared again. What could be the situation? Can it be treated at home? Which department should I go to the hospital for, and do I need to go to the hospital every day? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

You can send me a picture to take a look, to show the specific symptoms? Generally, such a condition is a manifestation of balanitis. If there are blisters, it could be genital herpes. Since there is no attached picture with the question, it is best for you to visit the dermatology department for a thorough examination. For balanitis, topical treatments like "Pikang Wang" can be used. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
