Patient's question:
Doctor, my foreskin is too long, which has led to balanitis. Last month, I had a circumcision surgery at the hospital. Now, the head of my penis has started to wrinkle and peel. I would like to consult a few times. Does the recurrence of wrinkling and peeling of the head of the penis indicate that the balanitis has been cured?Doctor's answer:
The glans again exhibits wrinkles or peeling, which indicates a more severe clinical diagnosis of balanitis. First, when inflammation is present, it is essential to wait for the inflammation to heal completely before undergoing circumcision surgery at the hospital. In the clinical treatment of balanitis, the primary approach combines topical medications and oral medications. Topical medications mainly include various antifungal or anti-inflammatory drugs, while oral medications primarily serve to clean the surface of the affected area for treatment.
