Patient's question:
My glans has recently become very red and swollen, and it's also painful. I checked online and someone said it might be candidal balanitis, but mine doesn't have any bumps—it's just very itchy. I'm very careful about hygiene, so I don't know why I got sick. Could you tell me what the symptoms of candidal balanitis are?Doctor's answer:
First of all, if it's a fungal balanitis like this, it mainly manifests as local itching or red rashes. Generally speaking, in your case, it's likely to be an early manifestation. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it is recommended that you can decide to go to the local hospital's dermatology department or urology and obstetrics department for an examination. You can first use topical anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications.
