Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally, taking oral roxithromycin and levofloxacin. It is recommended to eat less spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain local cleanliness at all times. If there is phimosis, circumcision may be necessary for patients with redness and swelling of the glans.
