Patient's question:
Since December last year, the glans has been red, swollen, wrinkled, and peeling off white scales. The redness and swelling become more severe after an erection! It doesn't hurt or itch!Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, it should be acute superficial balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining's secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply, leading to local inflammation with symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If it is mild, you can regularly clean with clean water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment;
