Patient's question:
I have noticed a few white spots on my glans recently, but after three days, there are more white spots. Looking at pictures online, I realized it might be candidal balanitis. Is candidal balanitis stubborn?Doctor's answer:
This could be balanitis. The treatment principles for balanitis are: soak in physiological saline and then expose to ultraviolet light. The medication principles are: 1. Generally, fungal infections are common, and applying some miconazole nitrate externally is also a good option; 2. For chronic inflammation that recurs frequently, circumcision should be considered. Additionally, during the treatment of balanitis, besides medication, 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 impacts on the complete recovery of balanitis.
