Hi - I've had a red irritated glans for a couple of years now. I've enclosed a picture. It can get itchy at times, but otherwise, the glans is mostly just dry, shiny and wrinkled.
Is this balanitis? Any recommendations for treatment options?
Thank you.
Wash it with a mild soap and warm water.
Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Apply a moisturiser ( coconut oil or shea butter)
This should solve your problem within a week.
Amarjeet is advising precisely the right things to do - however I would be a little more cautious.
Anything that has been in place for up to 24 months may take considerable time to turn fully around so that natural healing takes place.
My one variation would be no soap - do the other things Amarjeet is specifying consistently for at least 4 to 5 months, then you will get a truer reflection of how healthy your penile skin can become
