Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there's also yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'm asking: How can I effectively treat glans itching?Doctor's answer:

For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the must-use medications.
