Patient's question:
The itching at the connection between the coronal sulcus and the prepuce reappeared two weeks ago. There are some small white spots at the connection between the and the prepuce. Then I went to a pharmacy and bought Fukejiejie cleaning liquid and Huang Pifeng ointment to apply. After using it for more than a week, the itching has basically subsided, but occasionally there is a strange sensation. However, I noticed that when I wash daily, there is a white substance similar to dead skin that comes off, which doesn't look like urine. Also, when applying Huang Pifeng, it sometimes stings very painfully. What could be the cause? If I continue using Huang Pifeng, how long will it take to heal? I am unmarried.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of balanitis requires the selection of appropriate antibiotics. A 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution should be used for local washing, followed by the application of an antibiotic ointment. After the inflammation subsides, those with phimosis or excessive prepuce can undergo circumcision to prevent recurrent episodes of balanitis. Balanitis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat in daily dietary habits.
