Patient's question:
I am someone who has had the foreskin peeled off for too long. The other night, I peeled off the last part of the foreskin stuck to the glans. Then I noticed that the peeled area of the glans was red and looked like it had lost a layer of skin (the area wasn't large). There was a small opening (a minor wound) at the place where the foreskin was peeled off. That night, I used povidone-iodine and Hongmei ointment. In the morning, I saw pus, so I used povidone-iodine and Hongmei ointment again. Even now, today, there is still pus. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The white substance that reappears after the fusion of the prepuce adhesion is not pus, but likely preputial secretions. Clean the secretions thoroughly, focus on sterilization with povidone-iodine, and apply erythromycin ointment. You can fully recover within a few days. The condition of phimosis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should promptly seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, considering the examination results for treatment. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
