    Symptoms of folliculitis at the base of the penis generally include red rash, itching, and localized fever. It is recommended to eat a reasonable diet, have balanced nutrition, avoid eating spicy foods, and maintain good personal hygiene.

    1. Red rash

    Failure to do a good job in local hygiene may lead to irritation from dust in the air, which may cause a slight rash. This can be improved by washing the underwear with warm water.

    2. Itching

    Unreasonable diet, often eating high-calorie foods, leading to local skin irritation. It can be relieved by eating a bland diet.

    3. Local fever

    Irregular work and rest may lead to decreased immunity, local inflammation and local mild fever, which can be alleviated by regular work and rest.

    In addition, there may be inflammatory stimulation and local pain and other symptoms. You can apply mupirocin ointment or sodium fusidate ointment under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
