Patient's question:
I developed redness and swelling of the foreskin after taking Lixiting. The hospital said it was a drug rash. I have been receiving red light treatment via IV for 3 days, and it has shown some improvement. The doctor said I need to continue the red light treatment for another week. The daily treatment cost is 500 yuan, which is too much for me as a part-time worker. Please, kind-hearted doctors, could you provide some suggestions for treatment methods? Thank you very, very much.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is important to consider drug allergies that may cause a rash. Pay attention to this situation, take appropriate rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and pay attention to protecting the affected area. Pay attention to local hygiene and cleanliness, do not scratch the affected area, and pay close attention to observation. If necessary, go to a formal hospital for internal medicine examination and confirmation. Red light therapy is not required. It is recommended to definitely seek treatment from a formal hospital. In fact, having red and swollen foreskin is not terrible. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
