Patient's question:
Corona sulcus has red envelope skin scales every day, even after washing, it doesn't hurt or itch. True fungus was not found under the microscope, and after a month of washing, some foreskin scales can still be scrubbed out every day. What should I do with the excessive red envelope skin scales in the coronal sulcus?Doctor's answer:
The main reason for the recurrence of smegma is excessive foreskin, coupled with neglecting hygiene of the genital area, leading to its reappearance. It is typically grayish-white and has an odor. The long-term accumulation of smegma can lead to urinary tract infections, such as balanitis,, urethritis, genital warts, and herpes. It can also reduce sensitivity, potentially resulting in male dysfunction, such as premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, and anejaculation, thereby causing disharmony in sexual life and reducing quality of life. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, daily living habits, and sexual activity, and to undergo professional medical examinations related to the foreskin. If necessary, circumcision may be required.
