    Hydrogen peroxide generally cannot clean the glans. Patients can use warm water, shower gel or skin lotion to clean it. It is recommended to adopt reasonable treatment methods.

    1. Warm water

    Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing and corrosive properties, and the skin of the glans is relatively delicate. If you use hydrogen peroxide to clean it, it may cause skin erosion and other phenomena. Patients can wash the glans with warm water to reduce the sensitivity of the glans.

    2. Shower gel

    Because the male urethra is longer, a small amount of urine will remain at the urethral opening or underwear after urination. This can be washed with shower gel to reduce urine accumulation and avoid bacterial infection.

    3. Skin health lotion

    It is a topical lotion with antibacterial effect and has a good therapeutic effect on inflammation of the glans penis.
