Patient's question:
Recently, there was white discharge in the foreskin, and a lot of it would accumulate if not washed for a day. The doctor diagnosed it as balanoposthitis and prescribed Huangbai Liquid for topical application. After half a month, it didn't improve, so I then used Telpenefen Hydrochloride and Jie'eryin Cleansing Liquid. The condition has improved, but it hasn't fully healed yet. If I don't bathe for 3 or 4 days, there will still be discharge in the foreskin. What medicine can completely cure this? Please specify the name of the medicine. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
This white substance is smegma. This is caused by excessive foreskin, where urethral secretions are trapped inside, leading to bacterial growth and the formation of smegma. This smegma can irritate the glans, resulting in balanoposthitis. In this case, it is necessary to clean the foreskin thoroughly every day. You can start by using a feminine wash or potassium permanganate solution to clean it, and then apply Daktarin cream to the inner side of the foreskin. Additionally, you should schedule a circumcision procedure to prevent this from happening in the future.
