Patient's question:
About a month ago, it started off quite itchy. Later, it developed white tops with red bumps. For a while, it wasn't painful or itchy, just had the bumps. But now, the itching has started again. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
There is a condition of balanitis, which is generally caused by bacterial infection. It requires anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment to fully recover. It is recommended to use a compound Huangbai wash solution externally, dissolve it, and soak for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Additionally, avoid unsafe sexual practices and maintain a light diet to prevent spicy and irritating foods. Do not overwork or drink beer. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet.
