What ointment should I use for peeling of the glans penis?

The peeling of the glans penis is mainly caused by inflammation. This inflammation requires men to pay attention to the hygiene of the penis and avoid scratching the penis skin with their hands. For the case of excessive foreskin, surgery can be used for removal, and antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. Ointments suitable for the treatment of peeling of the glans penis include clotrimazole ointment or erythromycin ointment. When choosing these ointments, pay attention to the dosage and usage.

Peeling of the glans penis may be caused by the following diseases:

(1) Foreskin is too long:

It is usually seen in men with excessively long foreskin. Excessive foreskin forms a lot of smegma, which can cause infection and peeling, accompanied by symptoms such as itching and bad smell.

(2) Candidal glansitis:

Candida infection is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, which often manifests as erythema of the glans mucosa, local edema, smoothing, mild desquamation of the edges, and papules and small pustules that expand in all directions to form glans erosion.

(3) Acute edematous balanitis:

The peeling of the glans penis is accompanied by obvious itching. When the urethra is involved, frequent urination and urgency may occur. A small number of patients may present with acute edematous glansitis, with obvious edema of the foreskin and itching, small ulcers, and sometimes diabetes.

What ointment should I use for peeling of the glans penis?

The peeling of the glans is caused by dry skin or inflammatory stimulation, such as balanoposthitis. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash with warm water every night, turn the foreskin and the coronal sulcus, and clean them thoroughly. If the peeling phenomenon improves, no medication is needed. If it does not improve and there is local inflammatory infection, you can use Bactroban ointment or erythromycin ointment for treatment. Before applying these topical ointments, it is recommended to clean first and then keep the local area dry, so that the treatment effect will be better. In addition, the patient should wear cotton underwear, change underwear frequently, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and eat a light diet. If you suffer from prepuce that is too long, the glans penis will easily become inflamed and infected again, so you should consider undergoing prepuce surgery.
