Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Dear Doctor,
I have noticed that the skin at the connection point of my foreskin below the corona is cracked, red, and swollen with a sense of pain. It has been like this for several days, and it’s very uncomfortable. However, there are no blisters, ulcers, or discharge. I’m very worried that this symptom might be balanitis.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, according to your description, your condition is likely to have a higher possibility of suffering from balanitis! The treatment for balanitis depends on the cause of the inflammation, so it varies from person to person. The doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment method based on the individual patient's condition, the impact on their life, and whether they have other health issues. If balanitis frequently recurs and the patient's foreskin is difficult to retract for cleaning, then it may be necessary to consider whether circumcision surgery should be performed.
