What is the reason for the redness of the glans penis after the recovery of balanitis?

Patient's question:

The balanitis was treated with potassium permanganate. Later, the foreskin became red, and the sides of the scrotum itched. There were two red spots on the foreskin.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, taking some ofloxacin and applying erythromycin ointment, then washing with potassium permanganate solution can help. Excessive foreskin can lead to balanoposthitis. Any redness requires treatment. It is best to surgically remove the excess foreskin to prevent recurrent inflammation. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication on time and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
