Patient's question:
In the hospital, it was carefully diagnosed as balanitis and posthitis. The doctor prescribed Terbinafine Hydrochloride Spray for use. This morning while washing, the glans and foreskin have been shedding a thin layer of skin continuously. Is this normal? The assistance you desire: I would like to ask if this is a normal situation?Doctor's answer:
The Causes of Balanitis 1. Non-infectious factors. 2. Candida infection. 3. Amoebic infection. 4. Trichomoniasis infection. Additionally, apart from some causes of balanitis being unclear, phimosis and the irritation of smegma are often associated with the recurrence of balanitis. Generally, it requires both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments, administered four times daily. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line treatment, administered three times daily, alternating for 10 days. For balanitis caused by Candida, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole. Survival care: Men should also frequently clean between their legs and maintain local hygiene at all times.
