Patient's question:
Erythema of the foreskin in children An 8-year-old child currently has balanitis and posthitis. If cleaned daily, there is no problem. If not cleaned for one or two days, the glans and foreskin will develop mild ulcers. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello baby, the common reasons for this situation are due to poor local hygiene, which leads to viral or bacterial infections causing skin harm, mainly caused by the effects of urine residue. It is recommended that in this case, one should first always maintain local hygiene and cleanliness. At the same time, local application of erythromycin ointment or iodophor for sterilization can be used. If necessary, circumcision can be considered. In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment, so as to obtain good therapeutic effects.
