How to treat red and swollen glans with medication

Patient's question:

Once, a small bump appeared on the foreskin, and the glans was itchy and red. What kind of medicine is good for redness and swelling of the glans?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, it may be balanitis, which could be related to excessive sexual activity or bacterial infection. You can soak the affected area in potassium permanganate solution, then apply erythromycin ointment locally, and take anti-inflammatory medication to control the inflammation. Always maintain good local hygiene, prevent friction in the area, apply medication on schedule, and control the spread as soon as possible. Avoid seafood and spicy foods, do not drink alcohol, drink more water, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
In addition, during the treatment for balanitis and redness, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the balanitis.
