Patient's question:
A blister has appeared on my glans, and I'm currently taking fluconazole, but it's not working. What should I do about the blister on my glans?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and phimosis. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all cause it; alternatively, due to phimosis and inadequate hygiene, smegma (the dirty material that accumulates between the foreskin and the glans) may build up, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation. It is recommended to consult an infectious disease specialist for a definitive diagnosis to enable timely and appropriate treatment.
