Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery a month ago. Previously, I used potassium permanganate to clean it. But the other day, when I urinated, there was a bit of broken skin. Can I still use potassium permanganate to clean it?Doctor's answer:
I think it can be used. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant that can effectively and thoroughly remove one round. The concentration of potassium permanganate should be appropriate. In clinical diagnosis, the commonly used concentration for wiping the skin is 1:2000—1:5000 solution for mental trauma, ulcers, thrush, abscesses, etc. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
