Patient's question:
There is a red and painful area on the glans, what is the matter?Doctor's answer:
This is balanitis, which is an infection of the penis caused by parasitic fungi such as bacteria, molds, etc. In cases of phimosis, it can lead to recurrent episodes. It is recommended to use boric acid or potassium permanganate solution for external washing or sitz baths, apply ointments such as Bactroban or azithromycin externally, and if phimosis is present, consider scheduled circumcision.
