Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that can't be washed off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, would treating the itchy foreskin improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Eggshell itchy skin should be considered as testicular eczema or neurodermatitis, with primary focus on testicular eczema. If there is redness and thickening of the scrotum, it is recommended to use Eryc polyvinyl iodone solution or liquid to wash the groin area. After washing, use clean water to rinse. The condition is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
