Patient's question:
Hello doctor, if I get balanitis, what should I do? What should the doctor do?Doctor's answer:
Hello: First, it is necessary to confirm the cause of infection, and then determine the treatment method. The external treatment methods for balanoposthitis are as follows:(1) For trichomoniasis balanitis, a 0.5%–1% lactic acid solution, a 0.5% acetic acid solution, or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution can be used to clean the glans and inner foreskin.
(2) For candidal balanoposthitis, a baking soda solution can be used to clean the affected area, or imidazole creams such as Daktarin cream or clotrimazole cream can be applied externally.
