Introduction to Fungal Balanitis
Fungal balanitis is an infection affecting the glans (head of the penis), most commonly caused by overgrowth of _Candida_ yeast. It may lead to symptoms such as redness, itching, swelling, soreness, and sometimes a whitish discharge or unpleasant odor. The condition is relatively common and often occurs when the natural balance of the skin is disrupted.
Proper medical treatment helps eliminate the infection, relieve discomfort, and restore healthy skin balance while reducing the risk of recurrence.
