Patient's question:
Penis head is swollen and red, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I don't know if it's inflammation. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of balanitis in men?Doctor's answer:
Mastitis of the glans penis often recurs, accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain in the foreskin, sometimes with small red bumps on the foreskin. If you have balanitis, you can use a very small amount of potassium permanganate dissolved in a basin of warm water to make the water slightly red, then immerse the entire glans and foreskin in it. This can relieve the condition after a few treatments. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
