Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a ring of redness on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: How can balanitis itching be treated for effective results?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should be the symptoms of balanitis. The basic principles of treatment for balanitis are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line medications. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, long-term medication is commonly used.
