Patient's question:
Male, 17. Don't know what the disease is, it has recurred today.Why is my foreskin always red in front? It's also itchy and keeps recurring. Who knows what's wrong? It's accompanied by swollen inguinal lymph nodes. They disappear when it gets better, but they come back when it flares up. In one and a half months, it has happened three times. What's going on? My foreskin isn't long either! It doesn't match the symptoms you mentioned! What's wrong? Is it just inflammation? And after it heals, the front skin isn't smooth either, with some wrinkles? What's going on?
I haven't done anything dirty. I'm very busy with my studies. Based on your experience
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. Balanitis will not heal on its own if left untreated. In the early stages, patients with balanitis may experience local redness, a burning sensation, and itching in the glans. If not treated promptly, there may also be symptoms such as erosion or erythema on the glans. If balanitis is left untreated for a long time, it may lead to other complications, such as prostatitis, orchitis, urethritis, and other reproductive system infections. First, identify the cause of your balanitis—whether it is caused by bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, or chlamydia—to find the root of the problem and provide targeted treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, take medication specifically for your condition to completely cure the balanitis.
