Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed some patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There's also a 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: Can balanitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Based on your condition, it is mainly caused by balanitis. Pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing your underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply mupirocin ointment or compound dexamethasone acetate cream for treatment. Pay attention to wearing loose clothing, and both parties should clean before and after sexual activity to avoid the accumulation of dirt and transmission. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
