Patient's question:
I have excessive foreskin. I clean it every day, but my classmates say it's easy to get circumcopic purulent balanitis this way. I'm not very clear about it either, I don't understand this disease at all. What is circumcopic ulcerative balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Circumscriptive purulent balanoposthitis can be caused by various different factors, such as excessive foreskin, smegma irritation, local physical stimuli, and various infectious factors. Circumscriptive purulent balanoposthitis is a relatively severe form of balanoposthitis, typically characterized by symptoms such as prominent erythema on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands in a ring-like pattern and may form superficial ulcers. The condition of balanitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication.
