Patient's question:
The condition is quite severe. How should I treat the redness, swelling, and tearing of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, such a condition is likely to be balanitis. It is generally caused by local poor hygiene and infection. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules orally, apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole externally, and use physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol cleaning solution to rinse the glans and foreskin to thoroughly remove dirt. Generally, after the symptoms disappear, continue treatment for more than 1 week. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
