Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't come off even when I wash it. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, what would be the best treatment for treating red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
If the foreskin redness and swelling, as well as the pain, reappear, it's still advisable to check for any abnormalities. Conduct a thorough examination of the secretions and a smear test, as this may indicate acute balanitis. Bathe frequently and maintain good hygiene. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department. For medications, you can use some soaps and antibiotics. First, undergo a thorough examination to identify the pathogen. For patients with foreskin issues, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
