Is this the symptom of balanitis?

Patient's question:

My husband first noticed a small, bean-sized lump in his groin area, which caused some discomfort and pain. After intercourse, the fluid inside the sheath became cloudy. A few days later, there were two larger, round, hard masses around the testicles in the scrotum. After visiting the children's hospital, they diagnosed it as orchitis.

Doctor's answer:

It looks like it. At the beginning, it was a slightly raised, red papule with clear edges, which gradually expanded and had scales falling off. It feels itchy, and it gradually changes from red to purplish-red, brown, or skin color. For specific advice, please consult a regular hospital for a detailed evaluation to avoid further spread of the condition. Scrotal inflammation tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
