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 a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, what should I pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
We also need to have a lot of topical treatments, such as applying erythromycin ointment externally, while also taking many oral treatments like pearl powder detoxification tablets, vitamin C, and combining them with oral cephalexin capsules for treatment. This approach can achieve stability. We also need to carefully monitor the condition and maintain a light diet with clean local tissues for patients with balanitis. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, but if left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
