    It is usually fine if the glans skin is broken, but you need to check the severity of the break to make a decision. Because the causes of the break are different, you cannot be completely sure whether it is a problem.

    If the broken skin on the glans penis is caused by local trauma caused by long-term friction with clothes, there is no need to worry about this situation. You can use normal saline and potassium permanganate to clean the local area under the guidance of a doctor, and then apply erythromycin ointment for treatment, which can promote local recovery.

    If the glans skin is broken due to balanitis, you need to go to the men's department of a regular hospital and cooperate with the doctor for further examination. After clarifying the condition, follow the doctor's instructions and use erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, potassium permanganate soaking and other drug treatments.
