Patient's question:
I am a 30-year-old male. Recently, a small blister-like nodule the size of a millet grain suddenly appeared on the surface of my glans. It developed rapidly, turning into a flat, red spot the size of a green bean within two or three days. The spot was slightly raised with a smooth surface and no ulcers. After visiting a hospital, they diagnosed it as cavernositis. Later, I went to another hospital for a complete blood count and syphilis tests, which were both normal. They then diagnosed it as seborrheic dermatitis and prescribed a tube of Bactroban ointment for topical application. After using it for more than a week, the red spot gradually disappeared without leaving any scars. However, a few days after stopping the medication, another red spot similar to the previous one appeared near the original spot. I had to continue using the ointment for treatment. Currently, the red spot seems to be gradually improving.Doctor's answer:
No pain or itching, no other discomfort, it is mostly likely to be molluscum contagiosum or smegma, and no treatment is needed! If there is pain or discomfort, it may be balanoposthitis. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning.
