Hello! Based on the symptoms you described, it may be possible that they are caused by poor local hygiene, local friction, allergies, or masturbation. You can use potassium permanganate solution at a 1:5000 dilution to rinse the area, and then apply a wet compress with Fuyanjie or Sophora flavescens liquid to relieve the symptoms. Pay attention to local hygiene, avoid wearing tight underwear, reduce local friction, and follow the rinsing and wet compressing schedule. Avoid masturbation. Drink more water and avoid grilled meat, seafood, and spicy foods. For those with a foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
