Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. Recently, I noticed that blisters also appeared on it, they were small at first, but they are getting more and more. This situation is not normal, it's not balanitis. Question: How should I diagnose and treat after the glans becomes red and swollen?Doctor's answer:
A 30-year-old young man with red and swollen glans and moist condition may have developed balanitis due to excessive foreskin and poor hygiene. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing. If there is excessive foreskin, circumcision surgery should be performed after the redness and swelling subside. For patients with severe redness and swelling of the glans, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Randomly changing medications may lead to the opposite effect. The above suggestions are for reference only. We hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
