Patient's question:
At first, the head of my penis had red bumps, and I thought it was balanitis. I applied erythromycin ointment, and now it has been 5 days. It seems to be getting worse. There's a big one and many scattered ones, but it doesn't hurt or itch. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to have too much pressure. If that's the case, it might not be balanitis, but rather genital warts. I suggest you go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment in a timely manner. I hope my explanation can help you. If you have any doubts, you are welcome to consult again. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it's important to actively seek treatment at professional and regular hospitals based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
