Patient's question:
At first, the glans had itching and burning, then a blister reappeared and spread to the surrounding area. Now, the glans and inner foreskin are purulent with yellowish-white discharge, and the foreskin edge is swollen. I used potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and took oral roxithromycin and oral erythromycin. The symptoms have been present for 6 days, and I don’t feel like there’s much effect.Doctor's answer:
You should be aware that the purulent discharge caused by the itchy and burning glans is related to inflammation. It could also be due to insufficient nutritional intake in your diet, or it may be associated with coldness in the liver and kidneys. Proper dietary adjustments, such as eating more vegetables and fruits, can be beneficial. Medications like azithromycin and levofloxacin capsules can be used, but it's important to avoid spicy foods, smoking, and alcohol. Curcumin cream can be applied topically to relieve the itching of the glans. However, the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it's essential to actively cooperate with your doctor and use medications appropriately during the treatment.
