Patient's question:
Previously, I had balanitis and underwent a circumcision surgery. The inflammation has subsided a bit, but recently, a small red spot has appeared on my glans. What could be the reason? It has been a month since the circumcision surgery.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, an 18-year-old male who had a circumcision surgery for balanitis a month ago has developed new small red spots on his glans again. In your case, it is first necessary to consider that the balanitis is caused by local hygiene issues. The primary treatment should focus on local care and resolution. It is recommended to clean the area thoroughly with clean water, then use a hairdryer to dry it, and apply ointment for local external treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
