Patient's question:
Now I have a head condition that is always red, and it hasn't healed yet, almost a year has passed. At first, it was very severe, with a layer of small bumps on top. Now, although those bumps are gone, it's still red, and there's a faint layer accompanied by a burning sensation and urgency to urinate when I drink alcohol, as well as swelling. Oh, I have a habit of masturbation, and I know that this condition is what I got from that.Doctor's answer:
Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. It is caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanoposthitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A normal foreskin cavity secretes a lipid substance. When the foreskin is too long or phimotic, this substance can accumulate as smegma, irritating the foreskin and glans penis, leading to balanoposthitis. Drug allergy-induced balanitis is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction and is quite common clinically. It usually manifests 24 to 72 hours after medication.
