Patient's question:
Approximately a week ago, I had a one-time occurrence without washing, and then there were small red spots on my glans. Occasionally, I have a sensation of itching. I am taking medication, specifically roxithromycin, and using potassium permanganate for cleaning, but it hasn't taken effect yet. Now, there are also some small red spots on my foreskin. Why is it getting worse and worse? Is it bacterial balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned are likely caused by balanitis. It could be due to excessive foreskin or cross-infection from sexual activity with a woman who has vaginitis. It is recommended to consider revisiting the hospital for a follow-up examination promptly. You can use PP powder at a ratio of 1:5000 for scrubbing, and then apply erythromycin ophthalmic ointment externally for treatment. Pay attention to hygiene. Strictly avoid sexual activity. Do not consume spicy or irritating foods. Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication.
