Patient's question:
For several months, I have had, and I have seen many experts. The red spots are still there, but they are not on the surface; they seem to be in the deeper layers of the skin. I have used potassium permanganate and taken anti-inflammatory medications, but nothing has helped. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis, which can be caused by physiological phimosis, excessive prepuce, accumulation after sexual maturity, or rare mechanical injuries, can lead to recurrent inflammation of the glans. It is primarily triggered by pathogenic microorganisms, with bacterial and fungal infections being the most common. In necessary cases, circumcision may be performed. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
