Patient's question:
Hello. I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't wash off. Is this condition likely to be balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
If redness and discomfort reappear, pay attention to it, as it may indicate inflammation. Always maintain dryness and hygiene. You can use some traditional Chinese medicine liquid for washing. Additionally, apply erythromycin or mupirocin ointment to the affected area.For patients with red and swollen heads, diet and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients should ensure proper digestion and vitamin intake, avoid stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to prevent unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
