What should I do if I have balanoposthitis?

Patient's question:

I noticed some red spots on my foreskin and glans, with some itching down there, and also developed many red bumps. I got a thorough examination and was told I have balanitis. I'm very upset about this condition and wonder what to do if it can't be cured.

Doctor's answer:

Soak with warm salt water. Salt water has the effect of softening hardness and promoting healing. It has the function of reducing swelling and relieving pain. Alternate its use with potassium permanganate. After it heals, have a circumcision procedure done. Otherwise, it may still inflame in the future. Besides potentially leading to gynecological diseases after marriage, personal hygiene should be paid attention to. It is necessary to maintain daily small cleaning. Persist in flipping and cleaning the groin area, as it is the most prone to dirt and filth. The general treatment process is slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay more attention to personal hygiene.
