Red spots appearing on the penis skin

Patient's question:

Red spots have appeared on the penis. It might take a long time to dry. It hurts especially when touched now. Due to the fact that I am in a foreign country or the cause of the illness, I don't speak the local language, so I can't go to the hospital. Last time I had sex with my girlfriend, she used mouthwash, which was extremely irritating. She held it in her mouth and performed oral sex on me, and the next day these red spots appeared.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment for balanitis involves addressing the underlying cause or inflammation factor, which varies from person to person. The doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the individual's condition, the impact on daily life, and any other health issues the patient may have.
Medical advice: Oral or topical antibiotics are primarily used to treat balanitis caused by bacterial or fungal infections. If balanitis is triggered by chemical irritation of the skin, it is important to avoid further contact with the relevant chemicals. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe medication to reduce itching and pain. If balanitis frequently recurs and the patient's foreskin is difficult to retract for cleaning, the possibility of circumcision may need to be considered.
