What should be noted when treating balanitis?

Patient's question:

The balanitis has healed, and there are no more red spots on the glans. It was treated with Pramasone. However, the glans still has a dull ache, like a feeling of swelling, but it's not too painful. I applied the medication this morning and only washed it off by the evening. Is it possible that the medicine stayed on the glans for too long and irritated it? Moreover, I had a fever by the evening.

Doctor's answer:

From the patient's description, it seems that the patient's balanitis may not have fully healed or may have been triggered by a stress factor. It is recommended that the patient focus on medication treatment and maintain it for a few days. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the foreskin and the mucous membrane of the glans, which can be caused by various pathogens, local trauma, and other factors. Balanitis can be divided into several types of treatment:
Avoid spicy and hot foods in daily diet, such as tobacco, alcohol, and chili peppers; pay attention to the local hygiene of the penis; and undergo anti-infection treatment. Take oral traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and apply topical traditional Chinese medicine wet compresses.
