Patient's question:
I am a middle school student. Since October 7th, this symptom has appeared three times: redness and swelling at the front of the foreskin with some itching, pain when, and white, unpleasant-smelling liquid (like dirt). Additionally, the groin lymph nodes are swollen. The hospital examination of the lymph nodes showed some blood flow, which should be caused by inflammation. After that, the foreskin healed within one week. However, it started to redden and swell again after two weeks, with some red spots on the glans. It healed after eight days, and the red spots also disappeared. Until last week, I really don't know what's going on. Could you please help me determine what this is? What medicine should I take? I wash my foreskin once every three days! I don't have anything...Doctor's answer:
Hello: Hello: Based on the situation you described, there is no major issue with your condition. The only thing you need to do is to actively practice good personal hygiene. However, it is best to visit the hospital for a check-up to see if there is a possibility of phimosis. Regarding the discharge you mentioned, it should be smegma, which also indicates that personal hygiene is not being done well. However, if you believe your hygiene is good, it is recommended to undergo a discharge examination to determine the specific treatment and medication. Currently, you can try using a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for external washing treatment.
