Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling is indescribable. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very troublesome. I ask, if the head of the penis has white scales that look like peeling, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly caused by balanitis. You should pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing your underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning and apply it for 100 times for treatment. You should also wear loose clothing and avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as those mentioned. It is suggested to go to the urology department of the hospital for examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of balanitis.
