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 painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Where is it better to see for glans itching?Doctor's answer:
A male friend experiencing symptoms of a itchy glans again cannot be confirmed as balanitis. A detailed examination in a hospital is necessary to determine the cause. However, since you do not have other symptoms, balanitis typically presents with additional symptoms such as redness and swelling of the glans, or slightly foul-smelling discharge. But in your case, none of these are present, so it may not necessarily be balanitis. It could be due to inadequate hygiene after sexual activity.For those with balanitis, it is important to avoid certain foods in daily life. Try to limit the intake of seafood, as consuming too much of these foods can either trigger or exacerbate balanitis. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to dietary restrictions.
