Patient's question:
Now there is itching of the foreskin, and when it is retracted, it appears rotten with a foul smell. There is peeling on the glans, and the peeled areas are red. What disease is this?Doctor's answer:
It should be the symptoms of balanitis. Balanitis is often caused by poor hygiene, among other factors. It can also be triggered by phimosis. In daily life, you can increase cleaning, pay attention to hygiene, and temporarily abstain from sexual activity. Additionally, you can use a potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 1:5000 for cleaning. If the balanitis is caused by a bacterial infection, you can use medications such as Bactroban or erythromycin ointment for treatment. You can also visit the dermatology department of a hospital for examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.If you have ankylosing spondylitis, you should go to the spine surgery department of a hospital for examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can undergo medication treatment. Avoid taking medications for a long time to prevent side effects. Pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion.
