Boric acid lotion is an over-the-counter dermatological drug mainly used to clean small wounds and mucous membranes. This drug is acidic. Because the mucous membrane at the glans penis is relatively sensitive, using boric acid lotion will cause irritation. Therefore, this drug is not suitable for external application treatment of glansitis.

If it is diagnosed as glans inflammation, it is not recommended to use boric acid wash to clean the glans penis. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution diluted with water and used to soak and wash the glans penis. Potassium permanganate solution should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 5,000 to form a light purple color for application.

Boric acid lotion or what we call boric acid solution is widely used in dermatology. Boric acid solution itself has some disinfection and antiseptic effects. In dermatology, it has some astringent, anti-itching and anti-edema effects. Therefore, we often use it on wounds, exudation, acute allergic reactions with blisters and water flow, and use a concentration of 3%-4% to apply it on the face. Generally, 6-8 layers of gauze are used, and the degree of wetting is to the extent that it does not seep water, and it must be very wet. In this case, it is applied to the wound on the face, and the gauze is replaced when it dries quickly. Therefore, we mainly use its astringent, anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effects. This effect is used for acute symptoms of allergic diseases.
