Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that 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:
Phimosis is primarily treated with 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 phimosis, 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.
