Patient's question:
I'm only 18 years old this year, and I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: How to treat balanitis with topical medication?Doctor's answer:
You can use a 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution for wet compresses, but it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the cause of the infection. After that, use appropriate medication. If it is caused by Candida, you can use symptomatic medication. If it is caused by trichomonas, you can use a 0.5%-1% lactic acid solution for wiping, and then apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Daily, maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent colds, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
