Patient's question:
Open the foreskin. At the part connecting to the glans, there are elevations in the epidermis, like those connected to blood vessels. The surface hasn't changed, and the skin color is normal—it's just a protrusion. Inside the foreskin, you can feel something like a cyst-like, ribbon-like structure. It's painless and itchy, and pressing it doesn't cause any sensation. When erect, it's barely visible, but when not erect, it's noticeable, appearing swollen. You can feel something inside that's like cartilage, in a horizontal, ribbon-like shape.Open the foreskin, and below the glans, you can see a lump-like protrusion. There are no other sensations, but the area seems slightly purplish, and the swollen part has a bit of transparency. (The epidermis is normal, but there are abnormalities inside the epidermis, on the sponge-like tissue. Recently, there has been masturbation.)
Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by fungal balanitis. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution to remove dirt. Apply antifungal cream, such as clotrimazole cream or Fungizone cream. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection. As everyone knows, abnormal penile erection can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
