Patient's question:

What should I do if there are red spots on the glans, like peeling?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition is considered to be caused by balanitis, which is often due to friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or cleaning agents. It manifests as edema, redness, exudation, and erosion. Secondary infection can lead to purulent discharge, easily forming ulcers, accompanied by pain. You can use a 3% boric acid solution or a 0.05% coptis chinensis solution for wet compresses.
