Can boric acid lotion clean the glans penis?

Boric acid lotion is an over-the-counter dermatological drug that is mainly used to clean small-area wounds. This drug is acidic on the mucosal surface. Since the mucous membrane of the glans penis is relatively sensitive, boric acid lotion will cause irritation, so this drug is not suitable for topical treatment of balanitis.

If the diagnosis is balanitis, it is not recommended to use boric acid lotion to clean the glans of the penis. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution diluted with water to wash the glans of the penis. The potassium permanganate solution should be diluted with water at a ratio of one to five thousand to turn it into a light purple color.

Boric acid lotion, or what we call boric acid solution, is very commonly used in dermatology. Boric acid solution itself has some disinfection and anti-corrosion effects. When used in dermatology, it has some astringent, anti-itching and swelling effects. Therefore, we often use it when there are wounds, extravasation, or allergic reactions with small blisters and water flow. We use a concentration of 3%-4% to apply on the face. Generally, 6-8 layers of gauze are used. The degree of wetness is to ensure that there is no water leakage and it must be very wet. In this way, it can be applied to the wound on the face and replaced when the gauze dries quickly. Therefore, we mainly use it for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itching properties. These functions are used in acute symptoms of allergic diseases.
