Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed red patches appearing again on my genital area, especially on the glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. During the outbreak, there's also pus formation, which is very painful. What are the symptoms related to balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is advisable to carefully check whether it is viral herpes or if there is an infectious disease. Your condition should be considered for a thorough examination to determine if there is local inflammation. Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine for washing and applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment may be helpful. If there is an ulcer, it should be carefully checked whether there is an infectious disease, such as syphilis. The condition of balanitis tends to recur frequently and requires long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
