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 sore. Is this glans inflammation? Please ask: Which treatment is good for glans itching?Doctor's answer:
This condition should be balanitis. You can soak it in a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, apart from allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is best to visit a dermatology or urology department for a thorough examination to determine the type of inflammation. Confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid spicy foods. Balanitis itching can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
