Patient's question:
My boyfriend said he has had small blisters on his coronal sulcus recently, but he didn't pay much attention. It seems to have increased recently. How should small blisters on the coronal sulcus be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, such a condition cannot be ruled out as a possibility of balanoposthitis. The causes are often related to phimosis, excessive prepuce, masturbation, trauma, and infection, among others. These factors lead to the shedding of keratinized epithelial cells and glandular secretion, creating a favorable environment for other bacteria to multiply, thereby causing inflammation. The clinical manifestations are commonly seen as local itching, redness, erosion, and even ulcers, accompanied by discharge and a foul odor. In severe cases, it may present with fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment at a hospital.
