Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There is also a white substance around the edge of the glans, which cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me: How is balanitis treated? What medication is used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for balanitis is anti-inflammatory therapy. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to diagnose the cause of the infection and prescribe medication accordingly. Generally, it is possible to breastfeed while applying erythromycin ointment or clotrimazole for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to local hygiene and clean the glans and foreskin daily.For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
