Whether the glans can be washed with soap should be analyzed in combination with the actual situation. It cannot be generalized.
The glans is part of the male genitals and needs proper cleaning to maintain personal hygiene. If it is a mild, non-irritating soap, it can generally be used to clean the glans without too much impact. However, if it is a strong irritating soap, it should not be used to clean the glans because it may contain irritating ingredients that may cause dryness, inflammation or other discomfort. Second, chemicals in soap may disrupt the natural microbial balance of the glans, increasing the risk of infection.
