Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel itchy on my glans and red, hot, and burning skin in the groin area, which is very painful and troublesome. Today, when I returned to the hospital for a detailed examination, the doctor said I had balanitis. How can I effectively prevent balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is generally caused by frequent dampness and irritation, poor personal hygiene, urine irritation, and sweat irritation leading to fungal balanitis. For your condition, maintaining good personal hygiene, keeping the area dry at all times, washing with warm water every night, and applying clotrimazole ointment can help recover completely. Maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping the area dry can also prevent the recurrence of balanitis.
