Patient's question:
My boyfriend said he has had small blisters on the coronal sulcus recently, but he didn't pay much attention. It seems to have increased recently. How should small blisters on the coronal sulcus be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is possible that this condition could be related to balanoposthitis. The causes are often due to phimosis, excessive foreskin, masturbation, trauma, and infection, among others. These factors lead to the shedding of keratinized epithelial cells and glandular secretion, creating a favorable environment for other bacteria to multiply, resulting in inflammation. The clinical manifestations are commonly localized itching, redness, swelling, erosion, and even ulcers, accompanied by discharge and a foul odor. In severe cases, it may lead to fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment at a hospital.
