Patient's question:
The glans and foreskin are red, swollen, painful, itchy, sticky, and can rub out mud-like substances with a fishy smell. There are also many red bumps on the glans, which are very itchy. The doctor at the hospital prescribed me with a topical Chinese herbal wash, along with a cream called Hydrochloride (something like that), but it hasn't been effective.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms of your glans, it is highly likely that you may have candidal balanitis. Generally, a fungal examination can diagnose it. After diagnosis, you can use physiological saline to clean the foreskin and glans, then apply antifungal ointments, such as cream, Fungizone cream. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. The patient's foreskin is red and swollen, so we should actively carry out thorough examination and treatment, and do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the foreskin redness and swelling do not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly change the treatment plan.
