Patient's question:
Recently, I've been washing it every day. On the third day of washing, I removed a layer. Today, I washed it with potassium permanganate. I used a paper cup to soak the glans and wash it. Is it okay to scrub it?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's best to pay attention to cleaning. There might be balanitis, and it's also possible that you have excessive foreskin and a lot of smegma. It is recommended that you eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, and use high-manganese potassium permanganate with a concentration of 1:500 to clean the external genital area, especially the folds of the foreskin. You can also use povidone-iodine for sterilization to treat for a period of time, and pay attention to cleaning with clean water in daily life. Excessive foreskin can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to use drugs that are suitable for your condition during treatment.
