Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is 16 years old. When he was young, we took him for circumcision, and everything was fine. But a few days ago, he told us that there's some pain and redness on the head of his penis. I suspect it might be adolescent balanitis. I'd like to ask how to resolve it?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, generally speaking, if the issue of balanitis reappears, it is often directly related to local bacterial infection. Generally, it can lead to redness, swelling, and pain in the glans again. It is recommended to consider applying some topical antibacterial medications promptly to implement antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment, such as potassium permanganate solution. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining the local area dry and clean. The daily treatment for patients with balanitis is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods!
