    Compound dexamethasone acetate cream generally cannot be applied to the glans and can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    Compound dexamethasone acetate cream can play an anti-inflammatory or anti-allergic role and is usually used to treat allergic skin diseases, such as acute urticaria or seborrheic dermatitis. However, it usually has certain side effects. If applied directly to the glans, it may cause the glans to be irritated, resulting in side effects such as redness, swelling and pain, so it is best not to use it blindly.

    When using medication on the glans penis, you should choose drugs with relatively few side effects. You can choose erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment or fusidic acid cream for treatment. You can follow the doctor's advice.
