Many men have some diseases on their male genitals, but they are unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment due to psychological reasons. They have the idea of ​​avoiding illness and avoiding doctors, but they are also afraid of infection or affecting the next generation. Many people will choose the Internet, which has a high penetration rate today. The Internet can indeed bring convenience to people, but serious diseases still need to be checked in a regular hospital. Let’s talk about a common male disease, white blisters on the foreskin.

The appearance of white bubbles on the foreskin is medically called balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which irritates the foreskin and glans penis and causes balanitis. This disease can also be caused by bacterial or fungal infection or drug allergy.

Simple or non-infectious factors, except for physiological phimosis, excessive foreskin, smegma stimulation after sexual maturity or a few mechanical damage factors, can cause glans inflammation. Infectious or contagious diseases, glans inflammation caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the main factor, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common.

Common treatment methods: Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral antiallergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment. For exudate erosion, 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress can be used. Non-infectious subacute patients can use corticosteroid cream. Chronic stage or dry desquamation can use tetracycline cortisone ointment. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for immersion and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Wait until the inflammation has completely subsided before circumcision.

You should develop good hygiene habits, clean your genitals every day, wear comfortable and breathable underwear, and keep your genitals clean and dry. If the foreskin is too long, you can just treat it. Don't eat spicy or irritating food, do proper exercise to strengthen your body, and drink more water in summer. The genitals have the ability to repair themselves. As long as you pay attention to hygiene, they will heal. However, if the condition is serious, you must see a doctor to avoid causing more serious diseases and affecting the health of your genital-level partner.
