Patient's question:

Penis head red and swollen, coronal sulcus itching, a large amount of secretions in the coronal sulcus

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 cleaned promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, 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 plain water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment;
