Patient's question:
It has already started with small red spots, on the glans and coronal sulcus. Over the past two days, there have been slightly larger red spots. The only symptom is itching. What could be causing balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The condition is caused by local poor hygiene or contaminated contact leading to balanitis. You can apply erythromycin ointment and furinoneqing, and take cefixime dispersible tablets orally for treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for specialized examination to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms.
