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. Is this situation not normal? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What are the hazards of glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, it is likely that you may have balanitis. This is often caused by poor personal hygiene or phimosis, where the inner foreskin secretions cannot be cleaned promptly and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and adapt, leading to local inflammation. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and take anti-inflammatory medication. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The condition of balanitis itching tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
