Patient's question:
My glans suddenly became a bit red and swollen about a week ago, with a slight itch. Then there was white discharge, and even after washing, it returned the next night. Before this symptom, I could go three days without a bath in winter without any discharge, and there was absolutely none in the summer. I used ointment for a day, and now the white discharge is almost gone, but there's still some redness and swelling. The skin on the glans is a bit wrinkled. Regarding the series of issues related to balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, the recurrence might be considered due to the possibility of folliculitis, and you just need to control hygiene. There's no need to worry too much. You can use povidone-iodine for sterilization while treating it. It's not something to be overly concerned about, and I hope it helps you. It's just a rash, which might be caused by moisture or irritation, and it's not too serious. You can wait and see by carefully observing it first. Take frequent baths, change your underwear often, and wear soft cotton clothes.
