Patient's question:
I visited three hospitals, and all said it was balanitis. The doctors prescribed potassium permanganate tablets for soaking. I also used roxithromycin together with the antifungal cream previously prescribed by the doctor, but the effect was still not significant. Instead, soaking in potassium permanganate caused a layer of scab to form on the epidermis. How should the treatment for balanitis be done?Doctor's answer:
Treatment suggestions: Apply potassium permanganate solution externally, take amoxicillin and levofloxacin orally, use clindamycin cream externally, pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly, and circumcision may be necessary if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma in a timely manner. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
