Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with balanitis. They prescribed me a detergent and Curacil cream. Before going to bed at night, I apply Curacil cream. But today I noticed that several circles on the bottom of my glans are broken. Besides the bleeding areas, what could be the reason? During the day, I did nothing, mainly because I kept the wound cold. At night, there was no need to stop using the cream, so I continued using it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the symptoms that reappeared on your skin after using medication for balanitis as you mentioned, it is possible that the symptoms may be a result of drug irritation. It is recommended to stop using the medication.Guidance and suggestions: It is suggested that you can use physiological saline swabs to clean the skin of any pollutants daily, sterilize with povidone-iodine, and apply erythromycin ointment for anti-inflammatory treatment to see how effective it is. The condition of balanitis tends to recur. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
