Patient's question:
During this period, I've been experiencing some discomfort in my groin area. I sought traditional Chinese medicine treatment for a month, but it didn't yield significant results. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor confirmed that I had developed balanitis. What are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
A drug allergy-induced balanitis is a delayed-type allergic reaction, very common in clinical diagnosis, usually occurring 24 to 72 hours after medication.1. Acute Superficial Balanitis: Often caused by friction from underwear, psychological trauma, or local irritation from soap or cleaning agents. It presents with edema, erythema, exudation, and desquamation. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain.
2. Circumferential Erosive Balanitis: Inflammation of the glans and foreskin manifests in a ring-like pattern.
