Patient's question:
I have developed acute superficial balanitis, and my glans has some peeling now. I noticed that the itching is accompanied by red spots. Apart from foul-smelling white discharge, my recent sexual activity has been unsatisfactory. The help I am seeking: What medication should be used for acute superficial balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Adult balanoposthitis, apart from being partly related to excessive foreskin, is also associated with unclean sexual intercourse. Balanoposthitis often manifests as redness and swelling of the foreskin, burning pain, worsening during urination, and purulent discharge from the foreskin orifice. Balanoposthitis generally requires both internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanoposthitis and annular purulent balanoposthitis, contact with certain chemicals and trauma are also important factors.
