Patient's question:
First, I had phimosis. Two months ago, I developed balanitis, which is characterized by small bumps. After treating it with erythromycin ointment, white patches appeared on the inner side of my foreskin. They are very itchy. At first, there were only two small patches, but later they spread to cover the entire inner side of my foreskin. When untouched, they itch occasionally, but when touched, they become extremely itchy. If I pull back the foreskin, the white patches dry out within a short time, and the surface becomes smooth and hard, like dead skin! Now, the patches have spread to the edge of the glans at the corona. I have seen a doctor, who said it is a bacterial infection and recommended using Zhonghua Jieshen Liquid. I used it, but it didn't work. I have also tried other liquid soaps, but they didn't help either. What medicine works well?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, two months ago, I got balanitis, the area where the small bumps grew was itchy. After applying erythromycin ointment, white stuff appeared on the inside of the foreskin. For this condition, I suggest you send a picture so I can see what it is. Alternatively, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
