Patient's question:
I just had a circumcision surgery about ten days ago. Now my glans is sore and peeling. Is it balanitis? Can ointment treat it?Doctor's answer:
Having balanitis is generally caused by local poor hygiene or infection. Rinse the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
