How to deal with small bumps like rice grains on the glans due to balanitis?

Patient's question:

There are rice-grain-sized papules the size of needles on the coronal sulcus. Small papules smaller than rice grains were found inside the foreskin, arranged irregularly, some clustered together, translucent blisters, no redness or swelling, no abnormal sensations, generally no symptoms, but there is an odor on the third day after nocturnal emission. The glans is smooth but has a bumpy texture. All papules are smooth with a strong granular sensation. Can it be cured?

Doctor's answer:

The basic principle of treating balanitis is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is usually treated both internally and externally. For Candida-induced balanitis, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole for treatment. Potassium permanganate solution for external washing is effective against bacterial and fungal infections. Povidone-iodine for external application also works well. The condition of balanitis tends to recur easily. Long-term medication treatment is necessary. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
