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, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What dietary habits are good to pay attention to when the glans is red and swollen?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be likely to have balanitis. Generally, due to excessive foreskin, the secretions on the inner foreskin cannot be cleaned timely and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt here, leading to local inflammation, including symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If it is mild, you can regularly clean with clean water or potassium permanganate solution; if it is severe, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis before treatment; if it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanitis. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to rest, and avoid overexertion.
