Patient's question:
It's the glans that feels itchy, and I've noticed a condition similar to decay on the glans. If it's not washed for a day, it becomes very itchy. How can I treat glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended for those with balanitis to retract the foreskin, use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the area, and maintain it dry. Then, you can apply an anti-inflammatory ointment, such as ketoconazole ointment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual activity in the near future to prevent and alleviate the condition. For balanitis patients, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly use medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
