Patient's question:
The glans is red and swollen, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I don't know if it's inflammation, so what are the local treatment methods for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
This is a case of balanitis. It is generally caused by local poor hygiene and infection. The red spots on the area are an allergic reaction. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital as soon as possible. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is necessary to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
