Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and wrinkled. When urinating for a short period, there is always white discharge coming out, and it often itches. It was said that it is glans inflammation. Question: When is it better to treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is suspected to be balanitis. It is recommended to externally apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the affected area, use miconazole cream for treatment, take metronidazole and ciprofloxacin for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the foreskin is too long, it can be surgically removed. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area, wear breathable and thermally conductive underwear, avoid tight underwear, and change underwear and pants regularly, especially after exercise, to promptly clean and change them. In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, friends should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they improve their immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay attention to their dietary care, ensure a balanced diet, and digest nutrients well. In this way, they can definitely drive away balanitis.
