Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year, because I recently feel itchy glans and red penile skin, swelling, afraid I got balanoposthitis, what are the different symptoms of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis, depending on the type, exhibits different symptoms. Fungal balanoposthitis is commonly seen after conditions such as excessive foreskin or a history of unclean sexual activity. Common symptoms include a large amount of white cheesy discharge on the inner foreskin and coronal sulcus, and pinpoint-sized pale red papules on the glans. If the scrotum is involved, scaly erythema can be observed, accompanied by significant swelling, severe itching, ulcers, and a burning sensation on the glans.
