Q. Does itchy red pink rashes mean candidal balanitis?
Hello doctor, I was diagnosed with candidal balanitis and wanted a second opinion. I have itchy red and pink rash. No open sores or lesions. I had this a month ago and after Diflucan for 14 days it went away but came back this weekend.
Hello.  I understand your concern.  1. It certainly looks like candidal balanoposthitis (attachment removed to protect patient identity), though I would appreciate a photo without flash to see the lesional morphology better. 2. Besides the fact that it can spread via sexual contact and one is advised to get their partner also treated, other precipitating factors like blood sugar should be ruled out. Treatment remains the same as you are already taking it. Get other relevant investigations done to rule out any associated STDs. Take care.
