How to treat balanitis?

Patient's question:

At first, there were a few small red spots on the glans, but later when I went to the hospital, the doctor took a look and said it was a yeast infection. They prescribed an ointment and a wash solution, but it didn't work after a few days of use. When I switched to a different ointment, the red spots disappeared. Now, the glans is always very red, and the skin becomes wrinkled when it's soft. There's no pain during urination, but sometimes there's a mild itchy and painful sensation. I had sexual activity a few days before getting sick, but I always used a condom. I have never had unprotected sex.

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, your condition is balanitis, you can use a solution to frequently clean it, and then apply ointment to the affected area. It will be fine after using the medication for two weeks. It is best to keep your glans exposed frequently, which can reduce the spread of the condition. Wishing you happiness.
For patients with balanitis, in addition to symptomatic treatment, they also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
