Patient's question:
Today I noticed red spots on the glans, no pain, no itching, no sensation at all. What medicine is effective for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is the most common cause of balanitis, which can be treated by using disinfectant solutions for sterilization and immersing in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. If inguinal lymph node swelling reappears, oral antibiotics such as cephalosporins can be taken for treatment. If phimosis is present, it is recommended to undergo surgical circumcision after infection control. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, proper medication, and the development of good lifestyle habits and dietary practices are advised during the treatment.
