Patient's question:
How should balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are red rashes on the glans. Generally, it could be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by phimosis or poor hygiene is relatively common. If you have a history of unprotected sex, you should consider genital warts. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to identify the specific pathogen causing the inflammation to treat it accordingly. For example, if the balanitis is caused by a yeast infection, it should not be treated solely with conventional anti-inflammatory medications.It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for standardized and thorough examination to determine the specific condition. Then, you can decide on the appropriate treatment based on the diagnosis. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
