Patient's question:
My urethral opening around my genital area is a bit red, and the front part of my glans is also somewhat purplish-red. It doesn't hurt or itch, and there are no abnormal sensations. It's been about a week. What could be causing this?A few weeks ago, I had some itching around the coronal sulcus of my glans, so I applied Wujige ointment. A few days later, I noticed the symptoms mentioned above. I have no history of promiscuous behavior.
Previous Treatment and Outcome:
My foreskin is a bit long, and there is often discharge in the coronal sulcus. So, I wash it clean every day and apply Baiduobang soft cream. Recently, I used Wujige ointment for a while, and the front part of my glans turned purplish-red. Today while taking a bath, I noticed the redness around my urethral opening.
