Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What are the tests for itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
This condition is likely balanitis. It can be treated with a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution soak and applying an anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, apart from allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is best to visit a dermatology or urology department for a thorough examination to determine the specific type of inflammation. Diagnosis should be confirmed before treatment. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid spicy foods. Balanitis itching can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
