Patient's question:
Inner foreskin localized redness, with itching, more noticeable in hot weather. It was almost symptom-free during autumn and winter a few days ago. There are small, tiny red dots appearing. There is indeed a spherical protrusion, but it's painless upon touch, with a smooth surface. It reappeared last July.What kind of assistance is needed: Want to know if this is balanitis? Should I go to the dermatology department, the dermatology and venereology department, or the urology department at the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use 3% boric acid solution 200mL or 0.1% Ringer's solution to rinse the affected area twice daily, with each session lasting 20 minutes. Pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is essential to clean the foreskin regularly. The condition can be relieved, but the treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is crucial to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
