Can topical medications be applied for dry inner foreskin and glans mucosa?

Patient's question:

The inner lining of the foreskin and the surface of the glans are prone to dryness and rust, similar to winter lips that easily become dry, peeling, and cracked. Hello, what kind of ointment can be applied to repair this mucous membrane? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

The mucous membrane inside the foreskin and on the surface of the glans is prone to dryness and rust, and it is easy to peel and dry out. What should be done about this issue? Based on your description, it is likely a symptom of balanitis. It is generally caused by excessive foreskin, excessive friction and irritation to the glans. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, clean frequently, wear loose and breathable cotton underwear, increase friction on the glans, and avoid sexual intercourse. For severe cases of urological diseases, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication to treat the condition, as this may worsen the situation.
