Patient's question:
First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, of varying sizes, and they are getting more and more. This doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How to treat mild balanitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole ointment externally, while simultaneously using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans, maintaining cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan, appropriate medication use, a light diet, avoiding irritating foods, and not smoking or drinking beer are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
