Patient's question:
A man has white skin peeling off his penis and it's a bit itchy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is likely a symptom of balanitis. When treating balanitis with topical medications, it is important to pay attention to local hygiene. Wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated promptly, and circumcision may be necessary if needed. It is very important to clean the smegma in a timely manner. Excessive foreskin is the main factor in the onset and recurrence of balanitis. Wishing you good health.
