Patient's question:
The glans is red, with a few small spots on the lower part of the glans.The glans itself doesn’t hurt or itch and has no sensation. It’s just that the inner foreskin sometimes feels a bit itchy.
There’s nothing else unusual—just that it looks different from usual. It’s been two days, and I don’t know what’s going on or how to handle it.
Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be symptoms of balanitis. The common causes of balanitis are bacterial infections due to local uncleanliness, or a weakened immune system, or fungal balanitis caused by sexual transmission. For bacterial balanitis, potassium permanganate solution can be used for cleaning, and Bactroban ointment can be applied externally for treatment. Fungal balanitis requires cleaning with sodium bicarbonate solution and the use of Daktarin ointment externally for treatment. Pay attention to avoiding unclean sexual activity. If there is sexual activity, the female partner should also be examined and treated.
