Patient's question:
Long-term phimosis has caused itching in the glans, making it impossible to clean. An circumcision surgery was performed, and the umbilical cord below the glans has formed a scar, which was removed. There is a patch of white near the urethral opening, with occasional small red spots resembling blood clots. The skin around the urethral opening is dry and hard.Doctor's answer:
This is a manifestation of some inflammation, and many anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. Using a lot of povidone-iodine for cleaning can achieve the desired therapeutic effect and help it improve. After cleaning with povidone-iodine, apply erythromycin ointment to further enhance the treatment effect and help it heal. This is why it is important to pay attention to hygiene and cleaning to avoid such phenomena. Phimosis inflammation can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the condition. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet.
