Patient's question:
I often pay attention to the fact that there will be no unpleasant odor after cleaning, but now there is no odor, but the red spots are gradually increasing. I am a bit worried. If I go to the hospital, it is likely to be diagnosed as balanitis. With the improvement of living standards, I am concerned about what kind of help is needed: What should be done after the diagnosis of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
1. Maintain local cleanliness for the foreskin and glans to prevent secondary infection;2. For exudative and purulent discharge, use 3% boric acid solution or 0.1% Ringer's lactate for wet dressing;
3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for non-infectious subacute stage;
4. Tetracycline and hydrocortisone ointment can be applied during chronic stage or dry scaling;
5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and swollen lymph nodes, systemic antibiotics can be used. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
