Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is considered to be caused by balanitis. It is often triggered by friction from underwear, mental trauma, or local irritation from soap or cleaning agents. Symptoms include swelling, redness, discharge, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, making ulcers more likely to form, accompanied by pain. A 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% emodin solution can be used for wet compresses. For severe cases of male genital diseases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment.
