Patient's question:
I've been experiencing persistent itching on my glans recently, accompanied by pain. There are also a few small, rice-grain-sized red bumps on it. The pediatric hospital doctor prescribed me anti-inflammatory medication, but the symptoms haven't improved at all. I think perhaps applying a topical cream directly might work faster. Could you please advise what cream is good for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is generally treated with topical anti-inflammatory antibiotic creams, and it is also necessary to take some anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. Phimosis is usually caused by bacterial infection due to poor hygiene, or it may be transmitted from others. It is recommended to first identify which type of inflammation it is, and then treat accordingly. During treatment, avoid sexual activity and pay close attention to personal hygiene and rest. The diet should be light.The daily treatment for phimosis patients primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
