Patient's question:
Last week, I applied erythromycin ointment to the inflamed glans. Now it's peeling, what should I do? The glans is now dry and it seems to have a plastic-like layer on it. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be due to inflammation of the glans caused by poor hygiene, it is recommended to actively seek medical attention for targeted and thorough examination to clarify the specific condition and provide symptomatic treatment. Temporarily avoid sexual activity. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly receive medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
