Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that going to the bathroom wasn't very smooth. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: How can I effectively treat the itching of the head of my penis?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be caused by balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and apply erythromycin for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. If it is severe, you can take Amoxicillin under the guidance of a doctor for anti-inflammatory treatment or Azithromycin. The condition of balanitis itching tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, maintain personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
