Patient's question:
My son is 12 years old this year. He told me that the place where he urinates is very itchy. I took a look and found that his glans was very red and swollen. He said it was itchy and even scratched it with his hand. Will this be contagious? Is this glans itching caused by excessive foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: If you are concerned about transmission, it can only be said that there is itching. If the prepuce is too long, the possibility of smegma and balanitis is relatively high. The treatment is basically based on anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs. Pay attention to personal hygiene, try not to overwork or stay up late, and can cooperate with many cephalosporin drugs to control it. You can also choose calamine to relieve the itching.
