Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with balanitis. They prescribed Baichuan detergent and Qumingxin cream. Before bed, I apply Qumingxin cream, but today I noticed that several circles on the bottom of my glans are broken. Besides the bleeding areas, what could be the reason? During the day, I did nothing, mainly because I kept the wound cool. At night, there was no need to stop using the cream, so I should continue using it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms that reappeared on the skin after using medication for balanitis as you mentioned, it is likely that the symptoms may be a recurrence of drug-induced irritation. It is recommended to stop using the medication.Guidance and suggestions: It is suggested to use physiological saline swabs to clean the skin of any pollutants daily, apply povidone-iodine for sterilization, and use erythromycin ointment for anti-inflammatory treatment to see how effective it is. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
