Patient's question:
A while ago, I got balanitis. The doctor said it could be treated with cream. After applying it, the cracks-like sores on my glans healed significantly. I endured it for six days, but yesterday, a large patch of redness appeared on my foreskin. I consulted the doctor, who said it was fine. Today, the redness on my foreskin and glans has become much more noticeable, and I'm quite worried. This time, I took photos specifically. The redness might not be as obvious after the cream is applied, but this morning after waking up, I noticed the red patches were very prominent.Doctor's answer:
The male penis has phimosis and poor hygiene, which makes it easy to develop balanoposthitis again. In your current condition, you need to pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. You can use a cleaning solution to wash, but be careful not to have frequent sexual activity. Balanoposthitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
