Can you use povidone-iodine on glans?

Glans can generally use iodophor, but the simple use of iodophor can not play a role in the treatment of the disease, it is recommended that patients take medication, surgical treatment, so as to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Povidone-iodine is a bactericidal disinfectant that can kill bacterial propagules, fungi, and viruses. It can be used for skin trauma, burns, abrasions, etc., and its disinfection effect is better. Patients with glans can appropriately use povidone-iodine to clean the local skin and play the role of disinfection and sterilization. However, the use of povidone-iodine alone is relatively limited in its efficacy, and patients are advised to take scientific and reasonable treatment measures. Once diagnosed with glans, the first thing to do is to diagnose the cause of the disease, if it is due to Candida infection, the patient needs to follow the doctor’s instructions to use clotrimazole, miconazole and other antifungal drugs, or oral fluconazole and so on. If it is caused by aerobic infection, you need to use external betamethasone cream and other glucocorticoid drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or oral erythromycin, clavulanic acid and other antibiotic drugs. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision can be taken, and most patients have a better prognosis.
