Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans with different colors, and there is a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that cannot 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 balanoposthitis. You should 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. You should also wear loose clothing, pay attention to cleaning before and after sexual activity to avoid the accumulation of dirt and transmission, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanoposthitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your 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!
