One is the early manifestation of Reiter's disease; the other is persistent, recurrent balanitis with annular or multiple annular lesions. Initially, it is erythema on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes annular or multiple annular, and then forms a superficial ulcer.

The groin may also be affected. During acute attacks, the glans mucosa is edematous erythema with unclear boundaries, and may have erosion and exudate. Candida can be found in microscopic examination and culture of the lesion site. Recurrent candidal balanitis can cause foreskin dryness, fibrosis, and sclerosis.
