What happened to the discomfort after the previous balanitis has healed?

Patient's question:

I had balanitis before, and it has already healed. Why do I still feel uncomfortable and a bit painful? Hello, has this already healed, or is there something else besides the inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, based on your current condition description and the current photos, it is still considered to have mild local inflammation. The current recommendation is that you can expose the glans more by retracting the foreskin daily, clean the foreskin and glans area daily to maintain local cleanliness and dryness. At the same time, you can cooperate with external use of povidone-iodine for sterilization and treatment. The condition of glans inflammation is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to promptly seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the results of detailed examinations.
