What should be paid attention to when there is itching of the foreskin?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have balanitis and want to consult. What should I pay attention to when the foreskin itches?

Doctor's answer:

Men who contract fungal infections can also experience symptoms such as odor, localized itching, and abnormal discharge. It is recommended that you actively seek treatment based on your specific situation and pay attention to preventing fungal infections in daily life. For example:
1. Do not keep long nails;
2. Wash underwear and socks separately, especially if family members have conditions like athlete's foot or toenail fungus;
3. Do not misuse antibiotics;
4. After washing clothes, pay attention to air-drying them in the sun or a well-ventilated area;
5. Be cautious in public places to prevent indirect transmission.
