Patient's question:
I noticed a few red spots on my head two weeks ago but didn't pay much attention. Now I always feel a bit itchy on the head of my penis, and I think it might be swollen. The red spots are still there. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is balanoposthitis, which is related to poor hygiene and excessive foreskin. You can clean it and then apply a compound clotrimazole ointment. If you have excessive foreskin, it is recommended that you seek timely treatment at a formal hospital for circumcision. For patients with balanoposthitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication in a timely manner and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
