Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: What are the common treatments for red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Excessive foreskin requires circumcision treatment, and postoperative swelling is very common. Applying cold compresses with menthol is acceptable, but be careful not to burn the skin.Recommendation: Postoperative swelling is very common, so please don’t panic. You can use anti-swelling and pain-relieving medications. Cold compress treatment is best for less than 30 minutes.

Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and alcohol, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
