Candidal balanitis is an infection of the glans penis caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans (yeast). It commonly presents with redness, itching, burning, and whitish discharge. Poor hygiene, diabetes, and weakened immunity make men more prone.
Conventional antifungal creams may give temporary relief, but the infection often comes back. That’s why many men search for homeopathy treatment for candidal balanitis — a safe, long-lasting approach that works on the root cause.
