Why is the glans still red after the balanitis has healed?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, my glans head got inflamed, and now it has healed, but it's still red. Why is the glans still red after the inflammation has healed?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if there is still redness and swelling after an inflammatory infection, it may be due to poor absorption. It is necessary to use warm water or soda water frequently for cleaning and sterilization, and to take good care and observe for a period of time, which would be better. However, for the next few days, sexual activity should still be avoided. If there is a condition of long foreskin, it is prone to cause the condition to recur repeatedly, so it is better to eat light food.
