Patient's question:
It's been a while, and I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, with some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. It also feels itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What are the early signs of balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Don't worry if it's balanitis; then use some medication to actively treat it. Don't be concerned—diet should be light, and some sensitive medications, such as antibiotics, can be used. If necessary, have it checked to see if it's bacterial or fungal. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and try applying erythromycin or similar medications to see the effect. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it's prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it's essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's plan, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
