Patient's question:
On February 1st, I noticed it because of itching. When I touched the itchy area, it started to hurt. There are bumps on the skin near the head of the penis, similar to blisters. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that the virus infection is related to poor hygiene, sexual contact, or unsafe sexual practices. Pay attention to hygiene of the affected area, clean it regularly, wash and dry underwear in the sun, apply antiviral ointment after cleaning the area, and take oral antiviral medication for treatment. Symptoms will gradually be controlled, and the foreskin can recover. However, the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet.
