Patient's question:
There has been a continuous crack in the foreskin, and this time the episode is more severe. Previously, I could retract the foreskin to clean the smegma inside, but this time the foreskin is swollen, the wound is deep, and there is fluid leakage. For the past few days, I have been using potassium permanganate solution at a 1:5000 dilution to clean the surface, but the wound has not healed, nor has it subsided. About an hour after cleaning, there is a tingling sensation. I change my underwear daily, and each time there is a yellowish fluid discharge.If I don’t undergo a circumcision, what kind of anti-inflammatory medication would be suitable to take orally, or would an external antibiotic be better?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, they are caused by an infection. It is recommended to take oral medication or intravenous fluids for treatment. Antibiotics should be used. This will help you recover. You can use Ciprofloxacin for treatment.
