How should be treated for red and swollen foreskin

Patient's question:

I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please advise: How can I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change your underwear and pants frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If the recurrence is caused by excessive foreskin, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanoposthitis.
In daily life, maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Rest properly and avoid overexertion. Avoid sexual intercourse and unclean sexual contact. For those with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular sexual life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
