Patient's question:
My foreskin is red and swollen, and there are several rings of swelling around the edge of my glans. I have been to the hospital, but the doctor only carelessly told me to rinse with clean water. Will it turn into cancer in six months? What is the chance of it turning into cancer? I am 12 years old and have had sexual habits. During the period of balanitis, I couldn't resist and did it every few days. Now I am quitting, and it hasn't happened recently. Can I treat it with povidone-iodine? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of the situation: If this condition reoccurs, it may be related to balanitis, and the recurrence is associated with phimosis. Careful observation and medication treatment are recommended. Potassium permanganate washing can help stabilize the condition, and it can also be used in conjunction with levofloxacin tablets for treatment and careful observation. If the condition does not improve, it is best to receive intravenous treatment and continue careful observation.
