Patient's question:
For several months, I started experiencing a itch, a feeling of dampness, and later, itchiness of the foreskin. Now, there's a small patch of red on the with tiny white spots, appearing and disappearing intermittently.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, it should be acute superficial balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining's secretions cannot be cleaned promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, leading to local inflammation with symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If it is mild, you can often clean it with clean water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment.
