Patient's question:
The past few weeks, several small red spots reappeared on my glans. I went to the hospital for medication, but after taking it, they didn't completely heal. I want to know what caused this.Doctor's answer:
Hello, balanitis is generally caused by poor personal hygiene or the accumulation of smegma under the foreskin. It can typically manifest as redness, papules, scaling, and itching on the glans and foreskin. If balanitis is present, it can sometimes be transmitted through sexual contact. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and clean the genital area daily. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.In addition to seeking timely treatment for balanitis, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain better treatment outcomes.
