Patient's question:
Balanitis, there are white pustules at the connection between the foreskin and the glans. I went to the hospital today, and the doctor said it's nothing serious, prescribed me some anti-inflammatory medication, and told me to come back and clean it with povidone-iodine. Doctors, is this effective?Doctor's answer:
Your recurrent genital sores may be caused by balanoposthitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a relevant examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. Daily hygiene should be maintained, and topical Mupirocin ointment can be applied externally without rubbing. Diluted potassium permanganate solution can be considered for internal use. Avoid sexual activity and maintain a light diet with adequate fluid intake.
