Patient's question:
Initially, there was localized dampness, redness, and swelling of the penis skin. There was a sensation of itching, burning, and heat in the glans. When retracting the foreskin, it was evident that the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans were congested, disordered, with (serous exudate) and even broken skin. After secondary infection, shallow ulcers were observed, accompanied by foul-smelling creamy purulent discharge. The inguinal lymph nodes were swollen, with tenderness, and there was pain during friction or contact with underwear. How is acute superficial balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Now don't worry about this. If there is balanitis, use some medication. Use povidone-iodine for local sterilization, then apply some antibiotic ointment or erythromycin externally. It is also recommended to take cefixime antibiotics orally, using both external and internal medications for better results. Balanitis tends to recur easily. Long-term medication intake is necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and proper diet should be maintained. Avoid sexual activity.
