The glans is red and swollen, very itchy. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. What medicine is good for itchy and inflamed glans?Doctor's answer:
Your condition can be treated locally with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, followed by applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment externally. It is important to maintain local hygiene, frequently clean the foreskin and glans, and keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed.
