Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed some patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There's also a white substance around the edge of the glans, which can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me how to take care of it to improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, a comprehensive analysis is conducted; it may be related to balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is primarily caused by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus, followed by Candida, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which can all lead to balanoposthitis. There are small red bumps on the glans with itching, and if there is a history of unprotected sexual contact, the possibility of herpes zoster cannot be ruled out. Due to the inability to conduct a physical examination, a full understanding of the condition cannot be achieved. To further clarify the diagnosis, you should go to a public hospital for examination. The doctor will diagnose based on your symptoms and physical signs, supplemented by clinical diagnostic tests (such as blood, urine, and stool tests, culture and sensitivity tests, etc.).
