Is there a red rash on the glans without pain or itching? Is it balanitis?

Patient's question:

Not painful or itchy, just many small, dark red bumps. The skin is a bit red. How long do I need to apply the ointment? Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

This ointment is generally used three times a day, with a five-day course, and can be used for two courses. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital. Avoid spicy, greasy, and puffed foods during the day. It is best not to eat mutton or fish to avoid worsening the condition. Additionally, you can use pepper water to clean the area before applying the medication and wear loose, pure cotton clothing. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, be mindful of quitting smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
