Patient's question:
How to treat red and swollen foreskin, how long does it take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it may be balanitis. The gap between the glans and foreskin, as well as the coronal sulcus, cannot always keep the glans dry due to residual urine and secretions. This makes it easy for dirt to accumulate and increases the risk of infection. In this case, you should take roxithromycin orally, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. Foreskin conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
