Patient's question:
Last night while taking a nap, I felt a bit dizzy and noticed some discomfort in the glans area. This morning when I went to bed and urinated, I found two reddish spots together, about 1 cm in length and 0.3 cm in width. It's already evening now, and just now when I checked again, I realized that most of the inner foreskin is red.Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is speculated that it may be caused by balanitis. It is recommended to use medication, povidone-iodine. First, dissolve it in warm water, then rinse the affected area. After that, use gauze or cotton balls to gently clean the area. Do this once a day. Generally, it takes about a week to heal, which is both time-saving and simple. Additionally, applying clotrimazole ointment externally is sufficient. Pay attention to washing underwear with boiling water and maintaining dryness in the affected area. Since the patient is directly affected by balanitis, we should actively take treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical consultation. If the balanitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
