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: Can balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the main consideration is that phimosis may lead to the occurrence of infection. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and it is recommended to use potassium permanganate to soak and apply mupirocin ointment for treatment. Pay attention to keeping the area clean, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and if there is recurrent infection, surgical treatment for phimosis may be necessary. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
