Patient's question:
There are three small white bumps on the left frenulum of the foreskin, similar to whiteheads but without any redness or swelling. Upon closer inspection, there are many small, flesh-colored, grain-like bumps inside the foreskin. Usually, there is no pain or itching, but I just noticed them today while taking a bath. I don't usually clean the inside of the penis much; I just wash the outside. What could this be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, inflammation of the glans mucosa is called balanitis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. The treatment methods for balanitis are usually as follows:1. Remove the irritant factors.
2. When there is erosion and exudation, use wet compresses with boric acid solutions.
3. Antimicrobial treatment, using antifungal, antitrichomonal, and other medications to target different pathogens.
