Patient's question:
A small pimple started to grow on the foreskin, then it gradually got a bit bigger. It doesn't hurt or itch. Is this a disease? Pimples on the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of balanoposthitis refer to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Normally, a lipid substance secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimotic, stimulating the foreskin and glans penis to cause balanoposthitis. It is recommended to use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, along with the application of external medication. During treatment, personal hygiene should be maintained, and underwear and briefs should be changed frequently. If phimosis is present, surgical intervention should be considered as early as possible. Male reproductive diseases can be very serious, so patients are advised to seek timely treatment while paying attention to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
