Balanitis

[Iwillbeatthis]

I have Balanitis which is inflammation of the glans penis, I mainly seem to get these bright red rashes when I need to urinate and once I urinate they end up disappearing. I also get a loss of pigment (white spots) which randomly occur on my glans but then also go back to normal after a while.

My Balanitis isn't from soap irratation or anything I think it is from some type of chronic infection or maybe it is just an autoimmune rash. I tell doctors about this and they never seem to care and say its normal but the rashes over the months have gradually become a much brighter red than before.

I am sure some of you guys have the same thing what are your thoughts on this?

Yes I have this too. It could be because of candida. Ask your doctor if you can get miconazol for the skin. It helped me a bit. But in my case I think it has to do with urticaria. If one doctor can not help you, then go find someone else who will help you. POIS is diffucult , but balanitis is something that is well known.

Please refrain from offering specific personal medical advice.

This is not even allowed for a doctor-on-the-Internet.

Especially for so-called “candida”.

I have itching and a couple dark patches of pigmentation in that area. I use aqueous cream instead of soap in the shower and then I apply the aqueous cream again after showering and leave it on throughout the day.

I had problems with balanitis 6 months ago. Luckily, I have a free sexual health clinic near where I live. After a quick physical examination, the doctor prescribed me with some Canesten cream (Clotrimazole and Hydrocortisone). I applied it for a week, and I have had no further problems.

If you have access to a similar service, I would recommend making a visit. As a bonus, they tested me for STDs as well.
