Patient's question:
I might have developed balanitis due to frequent visits to the swimming pool for ice skating. There are small red bumps on my foreskin and penis, and they are extremely itchy. There is some discharge in my underwear. It's a very embarrassing condition. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to hygiene at all times. It is better to use clean water for wiping, or go to a formal pharmacy to buy some anti-fungal cleaning solutions for thorough wiping. After wiping, you can apply some anti-fungal ointment. At the same time, it is important to maintain the hygiene of the foreskin and regularly clean the smegma inside the foreskin. For patients with fungal balanitis, it is necessary to change underwear frequently. After changing, pay attention to rinsing with hot water, then expose it to sunlight to achieve thorough sterilization.
