Patient's question:
I recently noticed white cheesy patches in my foreskin and on the coronal sulcus of my glans, as well as needle-sized pale red papules on the glans. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have balanoposthitis. What are the dangers of not treating balanoposthitis to the body?Doctor's answer:
Generally, for such symptoms, it is better to use topical anti-inflammatory drugs. For the inflammation of the glans penis, you can wash the affected area with potassium permanganate solution. Applying mupirocin ointment or erythromycin to the affected area is more appropriate. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
