Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed the appearance of blisters on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: Can balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is mainly caused by balanoposthitis. You should pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing your underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for wiping and apply mupirocin ointment or compound dexamethasone acetate cream for treatment. You should also wear loose clothing and pay attention to wiping before and after sexual activity to avoid the accumulation of dirt, which may lead to infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
