Patient's question:
Male, 22 years old, for a while now, I've noticed that my glans is extremely dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How long does the glans need to be exposed to not hurt?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely caused by balanoposthitis. It is best to go to the hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis. Balanoposthitis generally recovers quickly with active treatment, relieving pain, but the specific situation varies from person to person. It is recommended that you always maintain local hygiene, wash the external genitalia with warm water daily, change underwear frequently, and follow a light diet as the foundation, avoiding spicy foods. During treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited.
