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, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and sore. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Where can I get treatment to improve the itching of the glans?Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, regarding the question you raised about whether the itching of the glans is caused by balanitis, the expert clearly cited: According to your condition, it can be considered as being caused by balanitis. Balanitis is a very high incidence of male disease, and in the early stage of onset, it can be seen that the foreskin appears swollen, flushed, the urethral orifice area becomes red and develops sores, and symptoms such as erosion and discharge occur. Later, it may expand into superficial ulcers with purulent secretions oozing out. The patient may feel pain or a burning sensation in the glans, followed by pain. After inflammation, it may discharge pus with a foul odor. Severe patients may also experience fatigue, low-grade fever, groin lymph node enlargement, and tenderness.
