Patient's question:
Morning, I noticed that my baby's penis was swollen and red, and it's still swollen and red by tonight. I don't know what the reason is. Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What help do you want: What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis, and it is recommended to consult a pediatric surgeon for a follow-up. If it is balanitis, there needs to be cleaning and medication after retracting the foreskin. Oral or intravenous antibiotics may be required if necessary. It could also be a pinhole-type phimosis, where the foreskin cannot be retracted and completely covers the glans, leaving only a tiny hole. Please observe carefully. If this is the case, you should bathe the baby frequently. If redness and swelling recur, you can use potassium permanganate to bathe him, but do not use too much potassium permanganate. The water should be the color of eggplant skin, which is a light purple.
