My husband has a red, ulcer-like sore at the urethral opening of his glans.

Patient's question:

3 years ago, a red sore similar to an ulcer was discovered at the urethral opening, causing sand-like pain upon touching, with occasional pain during urination. It was never treated. The size of the lesion has not changed, and the symptoms have not worsened.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it may be candidal balanoposthitis, caused by a Candida infection. It is recommended to take itraconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole/lotrimin ointment. Clean the penis with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution. Avoid sexual activity during treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
