Candidal balanoposthitis refers to fungal infection of the glans penis and foreskin caused by Candida. This condition can be treated with medication, and during treatment, sexual partners should also receive concurrent treatment. The mainstay of treatment for candidal balanoposthitis is antifungal therapy, which includes both topical and oral medications. Topical treatments may include miconazole cream or amorolfine cream, while oral options include fluconazole and itraconazole.
