Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it's glans inflammation. Please ask: Can glans itching be cured completely?Doctor's answer:
There are red rashes on the glans, which are generally considered to be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by excessive foreskin or poor hygiene is relatively common. If there is a history of unsafe sex, genital warts should be considered. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to identify the specific pathogen causing the inflammation to provide targeted treatment. For example, balanitis caused by Candida infection cannot be treated solely with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital for standardized and thorough examination to determine the specific condition, and then decide on the appropriate treatment method accordingly.
