Patient's question:
My husband has blisters on his corona, but he doesn't have any symptoms. He was told to go to the hospital, but he didn't go. What could be the reason for the blisters on the corona?Doctor's answer:
There are blisters on the coronal sulcus of the glans, which are considered to be balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans mucosa. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner surface of the prepuce and the glans. The normal preputial cavity secretes a lipid substance. When the prepuce is too long or there is phimosis, this substance can accumulate as smegma, irritating the prepuce and glans, leading to balanoposthitis. It is recommended to clean promptly, using substances such as iodine, alcohol, etc., and to supplement with certain medications.
