Patient's question:
First, my glans just appeared some red spots, and there was nothing uncomfortable, but recently I found some blisters appeared on it, of different sizes, and they are getting more and more. This is not normal, is it balanitis? Please ask: Where is it better to treat the red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The condition you described is a manifestation of balanoposthitis. It can be infectious or non-infectious, and infectious balanoposthitis is more common in clinical diagnosis. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to recurrent inflammation. It is recommended to undergo timely and thorough examination and treatment to prevent the pathogen from spreading backward to the urethra, prostate, and other areas. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results.
