Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, and there was no discomfort at all. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, of varying sizes, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should I treat redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in such a case, it is likely that you have balanitis. This is generally caused by local poor hygiene and infection. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% cleansing solution to thoroughly remove dirt. After the symptoms subside, continue treatment for more than one week. Generally, the condition will improve. For those with a foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
