Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there is always a white discharge coming out, and it is itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it is glans inflammation. Please ask: Can glans itching be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are red rashes on the glans, which are generally considered to be eczema, papules, balanitis, or genital warts. Among these, inflammation caused by excessive foreskin or poor hygiene is relatively common. If there is a history of unsafe sex, genital warts should be considered. Additionally, if it is balanitis, it is important to identify the specific pathogen causing the inflammation to provide targeted treatment. For example, candidal balanitis cannot be treated solely with conventional anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for standardized and thorough examination to determine the specific condition and then decide on the appropriate treatment method. The condition of glans itching tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
