Patient's question:
It has been a while since I noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky substance falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful at times. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What causes glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Treatment suggestions: Apply potassium permanganate solution topically and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have an early circumcision. Wash the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to washing the glans before and after sexual activity. Itching of the glans can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment and proper medication are essential. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid irritating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
