Patient's question:
The doctor initially noticed local redness, swelling, itching, and a burning sensation on the penis. Upon retracting the foreskin, it was evident that there was peeling, erosion, redness, and exudate inside. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
You can apply some clotrimazole cream or ointment externally for three days to see the effect. If it's effective, focus on external medication for a week. If the external medication is ineffective, it's best to go to a specialized hospital for a detailed examination and laboratory tests. The condition of redness and swelling on the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it's important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it's necessary to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
