How should a small wound the size of a needlepoint on the head of the penis be treated?

Patient's question:

I knew I had an uncomfortable feeling in my body, so I didn't go to see a doctor. Please ask: How should I handle a small wound on my penis head, about the size of a needlepoint?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is likely balanoposthitis, which commonly occurs in individuals with excessive foreskin. Accumulation of a large amount of smegma in the foreskin cavity can irritate the foreskin and glans, leading to an inflammatory response. It is recommended to locally clean the glans and inner foreskin with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, apply ciprofloxacin ointment externally, and take levofloxacin orally. If there is excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed as soon as possible to remove the underlying cause. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the affected area. In addition to timely treatment for the pustule, the patient should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities more often. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to achieve a good therapeutic effect.
