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 the infection, and then confirm the treatment method. The external treatment methods for balanoposthitis are as follows: (1) For trichomoniasis balanitis, a 0.5% to 1% lactic acid solution, a 0.5% acetic acid solution, or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution can be used to wipe the glans and inner foreskin. (2) For candidal balanoposthitis, a baking soda solution can be used to wipe the affected area, or topical imidazole creams such as Daktarin cream or clotrimazole cream can be applied externally.
