Patient's question:
I have felt some itching in my penis recently, so I took a look and found some small bumps on my foreskin. They are a bit itchy. What could be the cause? Is it a bacterial infection causing these bumps, or some other condition? I want to consult a doctor to get an explanation. What could be causing these small bumps on my foreskin?Doctor's answer:
This situation could be caused by long-term bacterial retention due to excessive foreskin, leading to balanitis (inflammation of the glans), or it may result from bacterial infection after contact with unclean items! It is recommended that you seek medical attention early for a thorough examination and treatment to prevent the condition from worsening! It is advised to soak and clean the affected area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then apply an antibiotic ointment. Proper use of antibiotics can help reduce the recurrence for foreskin patients. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and pay attention to avoiding overexertion and maintaining good personal hygiene in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
