Self-healing of glans erythema

If the male glans is inflamed, many erythema will appear, accompanied by complications such as itching, redness and swelling of the glans. If the glans is erythematous, it is generally caused by inflammation of the male foreskin, and some are even infectious. If you suffer from glans erythema, you should still use medication for treatment. Some people think that this can heal itself. So, can glans erythema heal itself?

Erythema of the glans is common in male balanitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious is mainly caused by Candida, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and other bacterial infections. Non-infectious is mainly caused by excessive foreskin, the secretion of the inner plate of the foreskin cannot be cleared in time, forming smegma, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa. In addition to erythema of the glans, symptoms such as glans papules, itching, odor, and exudation may also occur. It is recommended that you go to a regular professional hospital for examination in time to find out the cause and treat it accordingly.

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis. This disease can also be caused by bacterial or fungal infection or drug allergy.

treatment

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.
