Patient's question:
I suddenly noticed small, bumps on the coronal sulcus of my glans on September 15th. There were about seven or eight of them. On the 18th, I visited Zhongshan Hospital in Qingpu and got tested for HIV and syphilis, both of which came back negative. I was prescribed tretinoin cream and fusidic acid cream, which I used for about ten days. The condition improved and disappeared, but on October 6th, I went to Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, where the doctor diagnosed me with balanoposthitis and prescribed boric acid and fusidic acid cream. The condition improved somewhat, but two days ago, the bumps swelled slightly, and last night, a few new, very small bumps appeared in other areas. I have also been experiencing frequent urination. Could this still be balanoposthitis?The second photo shows a few small, newly discovered bumps, and I have been urinating frequently. Is it still balanoposthitis?
