Patient's question:
Last week, the foreskin started to become red and swollen. I applied miconazole cream, and the redness and swelling subsided, but now the foreskin has started to itch, specifically the outer part of the foreskin. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation might be balanitis. You can apply fluocortolone ointment and erythromycin ointment for treatment. Pay attention to hygiene of the genital area, change underwear frequently, and expose underwear to sunlight. Wear cotton underwear that is breathable. For those with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
