Patient's question:
I have some red spots on my glans. When the glans is dry, it shows the phenomenon of surface folds, and there is almost no pain or itching. Only when the weather is hot and it is not cleaned, there will be some itching. Please ask what kind of infection this belongs to? Is it contagious? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
It could be balanitis caused by foreskin hair. You can apply some clotrimazole ointment or terbinafine, and see if it works. If it does, continue using the topical medication for a week. If the topical medication doesn't work, it's best to go to a specialized hospital for a detailed examination and tests. I believe most people know that balanitis can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
