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 glans inflammation? Please ask: How should I treat red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
The appearance of red bumps on the glans with itching is likely caused by balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and apply erythromycin for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. If the condition is severe, you can take Amoxicillin or Azithromycin under the guidance of a doctor for anti-inflammatory treatment. The foreskin can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
