Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me: How should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if there is no recurrence of itching and odor, other discomfort symptoms are not a major issue. For balanitis, it is best to pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and it is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply mupirocin ointment for treatment, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
