Inflammation of the Male Genital Tip (Zoon’s Balanitis)
This unusual-sounding condition is commonly found, especially in men who are not circumcised. The exact cause of the disease is not yet clearly understood, but it may be due to inadequate hygiene or irritation from soap. Symptoms include red rashes resembling abrasions at the tip of the penis, along with similar lesions on the foreskin. Pain or itching may also occur. If left untreated, the condition may worsen. Treatment can be done with topical medication, and if there’s no improvement, circumcision might be necessary as the most effective treatment.
At Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, we have a team of dermatology specialists who are experienced in managing skin issues in sensitive areas for men. The consultations are conducted by male doctors in highly private examination rooms, ensuring confidentiality for all information and treatments. You can consult with confidence.
Don’t let embarrassment hinder your health. Skin problems that are left untreated may spread, making treatment more difficult later. Early medical consultation is the best way to take care of yourself.
