How to treat candidal balanitis?

Patient's question:

Two weeks ago, I suddenly noticed that many small red spots had started to grow on my glans, accompanied by pus. The glans and the local foreskin (circumcised) again appeared with redness, and the foreskin lesion felt hard and bumpy.

Doctor's answer:

If the HPV and HSV tests are positive or weakly positive, it indicates an infection with genital warts and genital herpes virus, and only targeted treatment can be effective. It is recommended to seek follow-up care at a large hospital or a urology specialty hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In addition, during the treatment for balanitis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from balanitis.
