Patient's question:
There are small bumps on the glans, which will shed. They will heal on their own in a few days. Gradually, red rashes will reappear, and the foreskin will also turn red. When severe, it may cause itching. How can be effectively relieved?Doctor's answer:
Initial judgment suggests a higher possibility of balanitis, which is mostly caused by the rampant spread of pathogenic bacteria. It can be preliminarily treated with wet compresses using a 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. It is recommended that if there is no improvement, a smear test of secretions should be conducted to identify the specific type of pathogenic bacteria. Based on the different types of bacteria, the medication should be adjusted accordingly. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
