What methods are effective for treating balanitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been feeling something's wrong with my foreskin. I went to the hospital and the expert said I have developed balanitis. I want to ask which hospital is good for treating balanitis? Which hospital has a lot of experience in treating balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

A lipid substance normally secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma when there is phimosis or paraphimosis, affecting the foreskin and glans to cause balanoposthitis. Regularly cleaning the foreskin and glans, maintaining cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity, and practicing good hygiene habits are effective preventive measures. For individuals with phimosis or paraphimosis who cannot retract the foreskin, circumcision can be considered. If the condition is detected, the foreskin can be retracted and soaked in potassium permanganate solution, followed by cleaning. Appropriate use of antibiotics is recommended, and the condition often heals within a few days. If the condition is severe, effective treatment under medical guidance is necessary.
