Patient's question:
Doctor, I previously had a few red bumps on my glans that were slightly larger than rice grains. After using potassium permanganate and compound miconazole cream for several weeks, they improved significantly, but the one near the urethral meatus hasn't completely disappeared yet. The left side of the penile skin near the glans is still slightly red and swollen (it doesn't seem to have subsided much), but after sexual intercourse, the red bump near the urethral meatus has now become larger, and the other previously healed bump has turned red again. Some red, grainy bumps have also appeared on the surface of the penis. Can I continue to focus on using potassium permanganate and compound miconazole cream? I've been using it for three days, but the red bump near the urethral meatus hasn't shrunk, and the treatment seems to be ineffective. Will focusing on using potassium permanganate and compound miconazole cream alone lead to recovery? What other medications could be used for more effective treatment?Doctor's answer:
Consider balanoposthitis, take oral roxithromycin, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or a long foreskin, circumcision should be performed. In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity be enhanced and their belief in combating the disease strengthened. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods. This will surely drive away balanitis.
