Patient's question:
Hello doctor, 1:5000 potassium permanganate external washing is used to treat balanitis. How do you 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 simple terms, it's like filling a basin with potassium permanganate and adding clear water until it's 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 a light diet and more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
