Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, too. I also feel itchy and sore. Could this be balanitis? Please ask: Where is it best to treat a swollen glans for better results?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your condition, this may be due to excessive foreskin on the glans, leading to the continuous accumulation of smegma on the glans and concurrent balanitis. It is recommended to avoid mental stress, get adequate rest, and maintain good hygiene in the perineal area. If discomfort occurs, seek proper medical examination to rule out inflammation. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
