How long is the incubation period for fungal balanitis?

Patient's question:

The other day, while I was taking a bath, I noticed many red rashes on my glans. I felt very upset, thinking I might have contracted some sexually transmitted disease. However, I didn't have any history of unsafe sexual contact. On the third day, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was fungal balanitis. How long is the incubation period for fungal balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description: If moldy balanitis recurs, this condition is often associated with localized fungal infection. It is usually directly related to phimosis and other factors. This situation is more likely to recur with unsafe sexual practices. It is recommended that you consider using topical antifungal medications promptly, such as terbinafine cream, etc. It is important to pay attention to drinking plenty of water regularly.
