Patient's question:
Over a year ago, I've been doing pretty well recently. Recently, there are small red spots on my glans. Every time I take a bath, there's white discharge, a bad odor, and itchy. When I retract the foreskin, the inner foreskin is red, similar to an allergic reaction. What I'm worried about is whether these red spots could be syphilis or some kind of inflammation. What should I use?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. Additionally, for patients with urological conditions during treatment, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must consume vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
