Patient's question:
There was balanitis. After the foreskin surgery on the 47th day, the red spots disappeared. But for some reason, many have appeared these days. However, it doesn't itch. What should I do? The foreskin hasn't been completely removed yet?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, with the surgery being 47 days old and this symptom reappearing, is likely caused by some local chronic inflammation. It's important not to overworry—just as long as there are no discomforts, there's no need for concern. Use potassium permanganate solution to wash the area daily and maintain good hygiene. During the treatment period, it's strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse. Rest and attention will lead to improvement. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long. It's essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should follow a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
