Patient's question:
Over the past few weeks, several small red spots have reappeared on my glans, and how to treat recurrent balanitisDoctor's answer:
The main cause of balanitis is phimosis or excessive prepuce. Additionally, dirty sexual intercourse, drug irritation, or allergies can also lead to. When allergic to certain drugs, it may manifest as fixed edematous erythema on the glans or prepuce, with recurrent vesicles in the center. Upon rupture, it can lead to infection. Symptoms typically occur within 24-36 hours after taking the medication, improve after discontinuation, and reappear upon resumption of the drug. Treatment for acute recurrence involves retracting the prepuce or incising the dorsal side of the prepuce for drainage, along with systemic use of antimicrobial drugs. After the acute phase, the patient should undergo a prepuce circumcision at the hospital in addition to symptomatic treatment for balanitis. Besides the medical treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
