Patient's question:
Fungal balanitis has been treated with ointment for over a month. When applying the ointment, the redness seems to disappear, but when stopping the medication, red spots reappear, and they disappear again when applying the ointment. How long should fungal balanitis be treated with ointment?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, if the course of treatment is short, it can be difficult to fully cure the condition, making it prone to recurrence.
