Patient's question:
First, my glans penis started to show some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: How should I treat balanitis to ensure effectiveness?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis. Balanitis includes local physical trauma, friction, contraceptive creams, swelling, discharge, and self-reported pain and itching. Irritation from soaps and detergents can cause local manifestations such as edema, discharge, and even peeling. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it can lead to inflammation and the formation of ulcers, causing significant pain and difficulty in movement. It is recommended that you visit a reputable urological hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis before starting treatment, as it could also be another condition. It is important to be cautious and not engage in (blind treatment). I hope my explanation helps you, and wish you good health! Balanitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment from a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on examination results.
