Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: How is red and swollen foreskin treated?Doctor's answer:
This situation is generally likely to be balanitis, which is often related to poor hygiene habits and bacterial infections. It is recommended to seek follow-up treatment promptly to rule out the possibility of having balanitis. If there is an inflammatory condition, it is necessary to receive timely treatment. The condition of the foreskin tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
