• Findings are suggestive of candidal balanitis (fungal infection) with inflammation of glans and foreskin
• “Cheese-like” deposits, redness, fissuring and pain on retraction are typical of yeast overgrowth, often after intercourse
• Partial response to antifungal cream supports fungal etiology, but current symptoms indicate ongoing irritation/incomplete resolution
Next Steps
• Clinical confirmation by a dermatologist is advisable to rule out mixed infection or associated conditions (like
diabetes)
• Both partners may need evaluation if recurrent symptoms are present
• Oral medication should be taken only under medical guidance, not self-initiated
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution
• Maintain gentle hygiene—wash with plain water, avoid soaps/chemicals on the area
• Keep the area dry and clean, avoid tight clothing
• Avoid sexual activity till complete healing to prevent recurrence and partner transmission
