Patient's question:
Hello doctor, 1:5000 potassium permanganate external washing for treating balanitis, how to see 1 to 5000?Doctor's answer:
The concentration of potassium permanganate is recommended to be very strict, as a high concentration can damage the skin. Generally, a 1:5000 concentration of potassium permanganate means the ratio of potassium permanganate to water is 1:5000. In simpler terms, it's like filling a basin with potassium permanganate and adding clear water until it's just slightly colored. Never use a concentration that is too high! After cleaning, pay attention to keeping the area dry at all times. In addition to treating balanitis according to the symptoms, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
