Approximately 7 months ago, the glans suddenly became red and swollen. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

About 7 months ago, I suddenly experienced redness and swelling on my glans, and two bumps appeared at the urethral orifice. At that time, the doctor at the hospital said it was an infectious inflammation and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and cream. About three days later, the two bumps ulcerated, oozed pus, and then formed scars. Since then, until now, there have been no symptoms, but the two bumps have remained, sometimes growing larger and sometimes smaller, painless and itchy.
Hello doctor, what exactly is this? Some doctors said it might be scars left after ulcers. By the way, my ex-girlfriend had vaginitis and high-risk and low-risk HPV infections. However, we had our last sexual encounter about 7 months ago.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, it appears to be a local fibrosis phenomenon caused by localized infection. This condition does not need to cause concern. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene, wearing loose clothing, avoiding friction, and preventing infection in daily life. For patients with severe redness and swelling of the glans, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications randomly, as this may have the opposite effect. Also, pay attention to your diet.
