Male genitalia with white scales on the glans penis is a clinical manifestation of fungal balanitis, accompanied by varying degrees of itching and having a certain degree of infectivity. Therefore, men suffering from fungal balanitis must avoid sexual intercourse to prevent transmission to their sexual partners. The treatment of fungal balanitis requires the simultaneous treatment of both husband and wife. Local application of ointment combined with oral medication can achieve good treatment results.
The white scales on the male glans penis may be caused by fungal balanitis. White scales on the glans penis are one of the unique clinical manifestations of fungal balanitis. Fungal balanitis occurs when a man has sexual relations with a woman suffering from fungal vaginitis without taking contraceptive measures, resulting in a fungal inflammatory change in the glans penis. In addition to the general clinical manifestations of balanitis, fungal balanitis has two characteristic clinical manifestations, one of which is a white layer of skin on the glans penis, similar to the discharge of bean curd residue. The itching is more obvious and severe than that of general balanitis. Therefore, white skin on the glans penis is likely to be fungal balanitis.
The treatment of fungal balanitis requires simultaneous treatment of both men and women. The foreskin should be turned over to keep it dry. Local application of clotrimazole cream and Dakin cream can be used, combined with oral itraconazole.
