Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. Last week, it seems I had a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a ring of redness on the head of my penis, with some bleeding, and white granules under the glans. What is this?Doctor's answer:
This situation doesn't need to be too worrying. If you haven't had any unprotected sexual contact, it is most likely molluscum contagiosum, which is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is generally caused by prolonged exposure of the private area to a moist environment. In daily life, it is important to change underwear frequently and expose the underwear to sunlight regularly. Pay attention to keeping the private area clean. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to stay fit, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical health. Good living habits can also help prevent diseases.
