Patient's question:
First, my glans just appeared some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed some blisters appeared on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This situation is not normal, is it balanitis? Please ask: How to prevent the development of red and swollen foreskinDoctor's answer:
Considering it may be a local inflammation, it is recommended to soak with a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments should be used. If due to phimosis or edema of the prepuce, it is not possible to move or soak, and drainage is poor, and the inflammation does not subside with general treatment, preputial dorsal (preputial dorsal incision) may be performed for drainage. After the inflammation completely subsides, circumcision can then be performed. The prepuce can be stabilized, but the general treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and maintaining good lifestyle habits and dietary choices during treatment are essential. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
