Patient's question:
Medical Description: Three years ago, a ring of white dead skin was found on the foreskin, which was not treated. It naturally disappeared, but the white area and the rest of the skin had different colors; it was red, like new skin, thin, and prone to breaking and swelling in the summer. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. Desired help: I would like to ask the teacher, what is this disease, and how should it be treated? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms are indicative of balanitis, and it is generally recommended to see a doctor promptly. Potassium permanganate cleaning can be tried, and you can continue applying erythromycin ointment externally to see if it improves. Alternatively, you can use Skin Kang solution to soak and clean the area, then apply Polysporin B ointment externally twice a day for one to two weeks. Pay attention to local hygiene, avoid all irritants, wear loose underwear, avoid spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. During treatment, avoid sexual activity and masturbation. Wash underwear with boiling water for disinfection and change it daily. (Use a paper cup to take an appropriate amount of Skin Kang solution, dilute the solution with lukewarm water 5 times, and soak for five minutes.)
