Patient's question:
I have had this symptom for these days, and it always doesn't get better. Could you please tell me the treatment methods for erosive balanitis or allergic balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Thank you for your consultation. Erosive balanitis is a type of balanoposthitis. If the condition is detected, it is recommended that you use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to soak and wash the affected area, then apply an antibiotic ointment and use antibiotics appropriately, which can be cured within a few days. If it is more severe, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Detailed treatment can involve antifungal drugs and corticosteroids, among other medications. For allergic cases, it is first recommended that you visit your local disease control center for an allergen test to identify the allergen. In daily life, you should try to stay away from allergens as much as possible.
