Patient's question:
I feel fine, but the glans has been in pain for a long time. However, other symptoms have been ignored, but it flared up two days ago. This time it's not severe, but the glans is red and has red spots, and the pain has significantly increased. I went to a different hospital, and the doctor gave me a new anti-candida cream. How can it be balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Or you might have candidal balanitis. For the Clotrimazole cream, since your balanitis is red, has red spots, and the pain has significantly increased, it is recommended to use it for about 5 days, as it contains hormones that have good anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, you can mix it with two types of tetracycline ophthalmic ointment to help prevent inflammation. It's very painful. After about 5 days, if the pain is not obvious, you can switch to a special fungal cream, such as butenafine cream, ketoconazole cream, etc. After treatment, you should wait for about 2 weeks to avoid recurrence.
