Patient's question:

How to treat a swollen glans to heal it

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are red rashes on the glans. Generally, it could be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. If you have a history of unsafe sexual contact, it should be considered as genital warts. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is necessary to confirm the type of bacteria causing the inflammation for targeted treatment. For example, if it is a yeast infection causing balanitis, it should not be treated solely with conventional anti-inflammatory medications.
It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for standardized and thorough examination to determine the specific condition. Then, targeted treatment can be decided accordingly. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment.
