Patient's question:
More than a year ago, the main feeling is discomfort in the coronal sulcus, sometimes itchy, and some small blisters reappear. Except for discharge, it's also a burning sensation after sex. I previously consulted a dermatologist, who said it's nothing, just papules.Treatment history and effectiveness: I used Jie'eryin for a few days, and it felt about the same as before.
What kind of assistance is desired: I want to ask, what specific disease is it, how to treat it, and what precautions should be taken. Will it be contagious?
Doctor's answer:
Oral or topical antibiotics are primarily used to treat balanitis caused by bacterial or fungal infections. If the balanitis is due to skin irritation from chemical substances, it is necessary to prevent further contact with those chemicals. If needed, doctors may use medication to reduce the patient's itching and pain. If the balanitis frequently recurs and the patient's foreskin is difficult to retract for cleaning, it may be necessary to consider the need for circumcision. For foreskin patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
