Patient's question:
The skin at the top middle of the glans is slightly red, and it's only in the middle, not as a solid patch but as a long, strip-like redness. The length is approximately from the middle of the glans surface to above the urethral meatus. It doesn't hurt or itch, and the redness has lasted for about two and a half months. I've been washing it every day without interruption. Is there any problem?Doctor's answer:
The skin on the head of the penis is red, which may be considered balanitis. It is often caused by excessive foreskin, invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, poor local hygiene, and infection through unsafe sexual practices.After cleaning the area with magnesium sulfate solution, apply the anti-fungal ointment Yikangbeisong externally. Persistent treatment can gradually alleviate the condition. Pay attention to genital hygiene, keep the area dry, bathe frequently, and change underwear often. Avoid unsafe sexual practices. Drink plenty of water and avoid spicy, irritating foods.
