Patient's question:
The glans and inner foreskin have small red bumps with no sensation. The experts suggested applying vinegar to see if they turn white. There was no change, still small red bumps, although applying vinegar caused some irritation. How long should one observe the glans and inner foreskin after applying vinegar with the small red bumps?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is likely to be infected with balanitis. It is recommended to go to the department of reproductive infections for a clear diagnosis, which facilitates timely and symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to regularly cleaning the groin area to maintain local hygiene and prevent irritation. Balanitis can be treated with an immersion in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and applying anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanitis, oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroid ointments are required. The daily treatment for patients with male reproductive diseases primarily involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain regular routines while avoiding alcohol. Male reproductive disease patients should seek treatment as soon as possible!
