Patient's question:
Suddenly had balanitis in the middle of the year, and later it recurred twice. Using Fu, it healed for about a month, but then it turned red again. Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
From the picture you provided, it appears to be symptoms of balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis). This is related to phimosis (reduced foreskin retraction). Since you haven't fully treated it, if the condition flares up, I recommend taking daily baths using (Safeguard) soap to clean thoroughly, then applying ointment, and maintaining dryness and hygiene. Wear breathable underwear, change your clothes frequently, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. Generally, balanitis can be cured within about seven to ten days. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it's necessary for patients to seek a prompt diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
