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.
