Patient's question:
For more than two months, I have taken anti-inflammatory medication and used Skin Clean to wash, but after a while, red spots reappear. What is the problem? How can it be treated?First follow-up question: There is no pain, no itching, no discharge. Urination is normal. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. Infections caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it. Alternatively, if the foreskin is too long and not cleaned properly, smegma (unpleasant substances between the foreskin and the glans) can accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa and causing inflammation. It is recommended to consult an infectious disease specialist for a definitive diagnosis to enable timely and appropriate treatment.
