Patient's question:
At 18, after circumcision, I've had no pain or discomfort. I used to have translucent small bubbles, which have now disappeared. What could this be? Is it balanitis or something else? Will it turn into cancer?Doctor's answer:
This situation is considered to be caused by inflammation. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, apply erythromycin ointment externally, and take azithromycin tablets or amoxicillin capsules orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. Drink plenty of warm water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. Quit smoking and alcohol. After a period of treatment, if the symptoms do not improve significantly, seek medical examination at the hospital. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent overexertion, paying attention to personal hygiene.
