Patient's question:
My wife has a fungal vaginal infection. I have red spots on my glans that are very itchy, so I got circumcised. Later, I didn't go for treatment for the glans inflammation. After an erection, it looks like red spots, and occasionally itchy. Is there any good medicine for treating glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin can lead to balanitis, and if you have excessive foreskin, the inside is more moist, making it easier for mold to grow and spread. Both of you currently have this issue, and if left untreated, it will spread back and forth. If you don’t want surgery, you can buy some clotrimazole cream and apply it locally. Apply it after washing at night, and your partner should also use the cream to wash. The best method is to have a circumcision, and after your partner is treated, you will no longer face this situation. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
