Patient's question:
After my circumcision, there are a few layers of white stuff on my foreskin. It has been 8 days now, and there is no significant scab. Now it is a bit itchy, the wound hasn't healed, and it hurts a little. I am also afraid to take a bath. Is it possible that the Antiseptic solution cannot dissolve and soak the wound? Should I wipe it instead?Doctor's answer:
It may be a recurrence of infection in the ring control area, which is related to poor hygiene or industrial pollution from urine. Pay attention to local hygiene, use povidone-iodine for sterilization after urination, and consider taking a bath to prevent penile erection. Avoid sexual intercourse and sexual activity to prevent injuries or skin breaks that could affect healing. Povidone-iodine solution does not need to be dissolved. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene.
