Patient's question:
The glans and foreskin are red, sometimes itchy! There will be a bad smell if not washed for two days! I went to the hospital and it was checked as a fungal infection. At that time, after treatment, it healed. Now I feel it has returned again. How can I treat it completely! Preferably with oral medication! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is best to go to a regular local hospital for examination and treatment. Fungal infections can be treated with potassium permanganate solution for local soaking to kill bacteria, and topical application of nystatin cold cream. Oral itraconazole and antibiotics can be taken to prevent infections. It is recommended to use microwave therapy to improve local blood circulation, which promotes the absorption and dissipation of pathological products, thereby facilitating tissue regeneration and repair, aiding in the absorption of inflammation, and rapidly eliminating inflammation.Candidal balanitis is a common male genital disease caused by Candida albicans infection. Treatment involves rinsing the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or rivanol solution to remove dirt, and immersing the foreskin and glans skin in sodium bicarbonate solution. The skin wash solution is applied to the glans, once or twice daily, while also applying antifungal creams such as clotrimazole cream, Fungizone cream, or Terbinafine cream. If urethral irritation symptoms occur, oral nystatin or fluconazole can be taken for treatment.
