Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, what are the precautions to be aware of during the examination for redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
1, The recurrence of red rash and blood spots in your condition should be balanitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. Then, treatment can be based on different conditions. For fungal infections, it is recommended to apply topical antifungal medication such as miconazole cream. For bacterial infections, apply topical erythromycin cream and take azithromycin orally. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
