Patient's question:
A while ago, I had balanoposthitis, which has now healed in the past two days. However, during that time, I kept washing with potassium permanganate, and my foreskin has been retracted. Even though the balanoposthitis has healed, the retracted foreskin is still swollen. I went to the hospital and was prescribed cephalexin. Is it still effective to take cephalexin in this condition? What is the reason for the swelling of the retracted foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description and symptoms, you are currently mainly experiencing swelling due to excessive foreskin. Hello, according to your description and symptoms, for your current condition, it is recommended that you do not need to worry, as it will gradually subside. You can use a warm towel to apply it. In fact, getting balanitis is not terrible. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high. Pay attention to your diet and other aspects.
