Patient's question:
The medicine prescribed by the dermatology department at West China Hospital a few days ago has been used for 3 days, but I don't feel any effect. How effective are these medications?Doctor's answer:
Long-term local irritation can lead to symptoms of balanitis and balanoposthitis, most of which are caused by excessive foreskin. If symptoms of excessive foreskin are present, circumcision should be performed after the infection is controlled, and the symptoms will be relieved quickly. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
