What causes vaginal skin peeling?

Penile skin peeling is a symptom that many men will experience. This symptom is usually caused by balanitis. Of course, for a multiple disease such as balanitis, effective treatment must be carried out according to its cause. In addition, patients can also take certain methods to prevent balanitis in their daily life. Below, I will give you a detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge of balanitis!

The causes of this disease can be divided into two categories:

1. Simple or non-infectious factors

In addition to physiological phimosis, inflammatory changes in the glans may occur due to excessive foreskin, smegma stimulation after sexual maturity, or a few mechanical damage factors.

2. Infectious or transmissible diseases

Balanitis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the dominant factor, with bacterial and fungal infections being the most common.

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. You can apply iodine and fluoride solution locally or use anti-inflammatory ointment. Allergic balanitis requires oral antiallergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

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

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

4. Tetracycline and cortisone ointment can be used in chronic stage or dry and desquamated condition.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics, such as cephalexin or flufenac, can be used.

6. Circumcision

If the foreskin cannot be turned over and soaked due to phimosis or edema, and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, a dorsal foreskin incision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision should be performed only after the inflammation has completely subsided.
