Patient's question:
There are red spots, itching. The first time it was so severe that it became raw, the second time it appeared a month later, and the third time it came back after just half a month. How should I deal with recurrent balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, including local physical trauma, friction, birth control pills, swelling, desquamation, and exudation, accompanied by subjective pain and itching. Irritation from soaps and detergents can manifest locally as edematous erythema, desquamation, exudation, or even blistering. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it can lead to inflammation and the formation of ulcers. Patients experience significant pain and limited mobility.Recommendation: Maintain constant dryness. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antibiotics may be prescribed for treatment. Phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication.
