Patient's question:
When I first noticed the balanitis, there was one or two blisters, but they had already burst and formed scabs. Later, the foreskin became extremely itchy, and that's when I started applying the ointment. However, the ointment was very irritating and unbearable. After using it for about a week, the itching had mostly subsided, and the purulent areas on the foreskin had already formed scabs, but they were still not healing. Today, I noticed multiple white spots and blisters on my glans. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Do you have a history of unsafe sexual contact? Have you undergone a thorough examination? Your condition is considered to be a viral infection, requiring the use of antiviral medications for treatment, both oral and topical. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use the medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
