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, how should I treat the itching quickly?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended that you take oral anti-inflammatory medication and use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. For patients with balanitis itching, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication in a timely manner and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
