Patient's question:
I've been feeling a bit itchy on my glans lately and can't help but want to scratch it. Is there any medication that can relieve the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
When a male friend experiences symptoms of glans itching again, it is likely that he has developed balanitis. Even if personal hygiene is maintained and the glans is frequently cleaned, there is still a possibility of recurring balanitis. This is generally related to frequent exposure to dampness and wearing tight underwear. Additionally, an overhanging foreskin can also easily lead to balanoposthitis. You can use povidone-iodine for scrubbing and potassium permanganate for soaking to help promote the reduction of inflammation. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition.
