Patient's question:
Doctor, recently there is some redness in my foreskin locally, and it needs to be lifted to be seen. However, there is nothing wrong with the head of the penis, and there is no sensation. What is this problem? I hope you can give me an answer. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, it is highly likely to be balanitis. This is generally related to excessive foreskin. The basic principles of treating balanitis are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is usually treated both internally and externally. For Candida-induced balanitis, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole for treatment. Additionally, potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning.As everyone knows, urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—opt for a light diet and avoid foods. Moreover, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
