Doctor's answer:

Consider balanoposthitis, take oral roxithromycin, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention promptly at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results.
