Patient's question:
What topical medications are available for balanitis now? If there is a small red and swollen area, what medications are needed for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Questioning if you have balanitis, this is a common disease in men, mainly caused by smegma, which is related to your excessive prepuce. Prolonged balanitis may lead to other diseases, so it is recommended to pay close attention to personal hygiene and frequently clean the prepuce. Generally, rinsing with clean water is sufficient. It is best not to use detergents, as they can irritate the prepuce. If the prepuce is excessively long, it should be treated in a timely manner, and in necessary cases, a circumcision may be required.In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with balanitis also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this condition more quickly.
