Patient's question:
A child has developed balanitis and has seen a doctor who prescribed medication to be taken orally and topical ointment to be applied. However, how can the medication be applied when there is adhesion between the foreskin and the glans?Doctor's answer:
These are a series of symptoms caused by balanitis. Honey, I suggest rinsing the genital area with potassium permanganate solution, then applying medication. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area and avoid extremely cold and spicy foods. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
