Patient's question:
After retracting the foreskin, there are intermittent red areas on the glans, which are painless and do not affect erection. Sometimes the penis itches, and it is unclear whether it is due to the glans or the foreskin. However, what is the reason for those red patchy areas on the glans?Doctor's answer:
After retracting the foreskin, there are intermittent red areas on the glans, which are painless and do not affect erection. Sometimes the penis may itch, possibly indicating balanoposthitis. Excessive foreskin and poor hygiene may contribute to this condition. It is recommended to clean regularly. If the foreskin is too long, a circumcision surgery can be considered to remove the excess foreskin. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment and use medication appropriately.
