Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Today I noticed a white patch-like thing on the coronal sulcus of my glans. `~~It doesn't hurt or itch~~` It's about one centimeter in size, just one. I don't know what it is. `~~Could you help explain what it is?~~` Also, I've been applying medication for scrotal eczema recently. `~~~Please tell me what it is and if it's serious~~`Doctor's answer:
It may be candidal balanoposthitis. It is more common in cases of phimosis, a history of unprotected sex, mild erythema of the penile foreskin and glans, white cheesy patches on the inner foreskin and coronal sulcus of the glans, and pinpoint-sized pale red papules on the glans. If it involves the external foreskin and scrotum, scaly erythema may be observed. If the navicular fossa is affected, symptoms such as frequent urination and dysuria may occur. Candida infection is not difficult to treat, but the specific medication should be determined based on your current condition. The duration of treatment depends on your sensitivity to the medication.
