Patient's question:
I have had for over 10 years. As long as I pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness, taking a bath every day, it will never inflame. If I don't take a bath for 2-3 days, several small red spots will appear in the coronal sulcus of the glans. It can even become purulent and cause pain. Wiping the affected area and applying a compound ketoconazole ointment, it gets better after two days. This cycle repeats itself, with the condition recurring repeatedly?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of balanitis require timely treatment to alleviate them. Avoiding irritating foods is recommended. For local treatment, use potassium permanganate for cleaning followed by applying erythromycin ointment. If you have phimosis, surgical treatment can help relieve balanitis, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition tends to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
