Patient's question:
Hello. I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't wash off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me what methods are used to treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This condition should be balanitis. You can soak it in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, besides allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is best to go to the dermatology department or urology department for a follow-up examination to check for the type of inflammation. Confirm the diagnosis before treatment. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life and avoid spicy foods. The condition of balanitis itching is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
