Patient's question:
For external itching, go to the dermatology department for a thorough examination. They will take samples for mycoplasma, chlamydia, and HPV. Will there be cross-infection? After a thorough examination, the doctor said they mainly look for sexually transmitted diseases.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to hygiene, bathe frequently, change underwear often, and avoid extramarital sexual activities. Adhere to moral principles. If such situations occur again, use a condom and pay attention to cleaning. For external treatment, use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wipe the affected area, then apply 3~5 minutes of medication. Alternatively, use topical non-irritating antifungal agents. If the effect is not satisfactory, oral itraconazole 200mg can be taken once a week for two doses, followed by external medication to maintain the therapeutic effect. Balanitis is a condition that is difficult to fully heal. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce their resistance to balanitis and believe that recovery is certain.
