Patient's question:
My glans is covered with folds, looking like it's dehydrated. What's going on? I went to the hospital before, and they said it was candidal balanitis. A week ago, I had small red spots on my glans and went to get treated. They diagnosed it as candidal balanitis and prescribed Skin (Skin Kang Cleansing Liquid), Triamcinolone Acetonide and Econazole Cream, and Dincru Naftifene Tablets. After using them for a week, the red spots disappeared, but now my glans is covered with folds, looking dehydrated. The nearby foreskin has also become dry, hard, and a bit painful. What's happening? The folds on my glans are very severe.Doctor's answer:
This is due to medication treatment, causing the glans mucosa to lose moisture and form pus, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles on the surface. After stopping the medication, it will gradually disappear. The current purulent surface needs to be shed and regenerate to form new mucosa. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
