Patient's question:
I just had my circumcision surgery for the seventh day. There's a layer of skin forming on the head of my penis.Could you please ask the doctor what's going on?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the description, your condition is considered to be caused by balanitis. It is often triggered by factors such as friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soaps and cleaning agents. The symptoms include swelling, redness, exudation, and erosion. Secondary infection may lead to purulent discharge, making it easy to form ulcers. You may experience pain, and a 3% boric acid solution can be used for treatment. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
