What is this? I currently have balanitis.

Patient's question:

I've been looking, but it hasn't improved. Recently, I suddenly noticed this appearing again on my skin, specifically on my arm. What is this? Do I currently have balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is still necessary to carefully check whether there are any bleeding points, as it might be possible due to an allergic reaction. It is advisable to visit a dermatologist for a thorough examination to determine if there is an issue. Appropriate use of anti-allergic medications should be considered, and if there are bleeding points, applying vitamin C can be helpful. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
