Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There is also a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans, which cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, please ask: prevention methods for red and swollen foreskinDoctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the redness, swelling, and itching of the foreskin are typical symptoms of balanoposthitis. It is recommended that you use an external moisturizing, anti-swelling, and pain-relieving lotion, and take fluconazole tablets orally for treatment. The effect is quite good. You must pay attention to personal hygiene, and wash before and after sexual activity. If your partner has vaginitis, she also needs to be treated together. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity. For foreskin patients, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
