Patient's question:
Candida infection of the glans with itching, using disinfectant, after application, blisters appeared. Doctor told me to focus on using it, can I? Or should I use the ointment you recommended? Is it okay to apply it all over the glans, or will there be side effects? Besides the oral medication, can the dosage be increased?Doctor's answer:
This candidal balanitis, a common male genital disease caused by infection with Candida albicans, led to the destruction of the glans skin due to the inability of povidone-iodine to dissolve it. In such cases, it is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene, using warm water to clean the area daily and applying ointment. Oral nystatin should quickly improve the condition of balanitis, which tends to recur and requires long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, with treatment decisions based on examination results. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain personal hygiene.
