It can be treated with iodine and iodine under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Peyronie’s disease

    It may be caused by trauma or other reasons. The sustained inflammatory reaction leads to the remodeling of connective tissue and the formation of fibrous plaques. It can be treated with L-carnitine tablets, colchicine tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Sexually transmitted diseases

    It may be that the patient has a history of unclean sex. Condyloma acuminata is more common. The patient will have light red papules or fleshy excrescences on the comb, which can be treated with cryotherapy or surgical removal.
