Patient's question:
Is the red part on my glans a sign of balanitis? I hope the doctor can help me clarify this!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
If there hasn't been excessive friction or impact damage in the recent local area, then it is naturally likely to be balanitis caused by bacterial infection. However, it is currently impossible to verify the type of infection through photos. If convenient, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a bacterial smear examination to assist with diagnosis, or to implement combined treatment, such as local sterilization with potassium permanganate solution, Bactroban ointment, or ketoconazole solution, etc. Balanitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
