Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How is it better to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of balanitis are relatively numerous. There are infectious pathogens such as bacterial or fungal infections, as well as local irritants like issues with underwear or bedding material, problems with cleaning solutions, and so on. Factors such as phimosis that prevents the foreskin from being retracted properly for cleaning also contribute. Many antiseptic solutions can be used, such as moisturizing and anti-inflammatory pain-relieving washes, or applying a lot of miconazole cream. Of course, it is best to have a thorough examination at the hospital for a more accurate diagnosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a systematic and detailed examination and treatment.
