A year ago, red spots appeared on the glans, with purulent discharge, swelling and cracks of the foreskin with bleeding, and I sought medical attention at the municipal People's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be balanitis, which 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 foreskin and the glans penis. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body and liver channel damp-heat. It can be treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction or by washing with a decoction of Sophora flavescens.
