What are the causes of a red and swollen glans and what medications are used?

Patient's question:

What are the causes of a red and swollen glans? This condition has appeared for several days now. How should I handle it? Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition, where red rashes and blood appear again, should be balanitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. Then, treatment can be administered based on the different conditions. If it is fungal, it is recommended to apply topical antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. If it is bacterial, apply topical erythromycin cream and take oral antibiotics like Azithromycin. In addition to medication for treating the redness and swelling of the glans, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment, so that they can obtain a good therapeutic effect.
