Patient's question:
Male, 22 years old, the glans always has red spots, not painful or itchy. The doctor said the glans inflammation keeps getting better and then recurring. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the red spots on the glans are not painful or itchy, which is likely to be balanitis. However, it keeps recurring. It is recommended to soak and wash the glans with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate warm water solution and apply erythromycin ointment. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. In fact, having balanitis is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as it is treated promptly in the early stages, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
