How should balanitis be treated?

Patient's question:

The glans is red and swollen, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I'm not sure if it's inflamed. How should I treat glans inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the situation, the recurring redness and swelling of the foreskin without any harmful contact may be a case of common balanitis. This can be diagnosed, but if there was harmful contact, you should go to a hospital at level 2 or higher. I suggest you can understand your condition based on my speculation and choose a follow-up hospital. If it is a bacterial infection, it is recommended to add anti-infection treatment while increasing fluid intake. For patients with foreskin conditions, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in time, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
