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, which can't be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be balanitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. If it is fungal, it is suggested to apply topical antifungal medication. If it is bacterial, apply erythromycin ointment locally and take azithromycin orally for treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated in time, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
