How should balanitis be treated effectively?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have a condition called balanitis. I would like to consult about how to treat itchy foreskin.

Doctor's answer:

Considering the possibility of balanitis, its clinical manifestations are often characterized by local itching, redness, erosion, and even ulcers, along with recurrent discharge and a foul odor. In severe cases, symptoms may include fever, chills, and systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If there is phimosis or excessive prepuce, early surgical treatment should be considered to prevent unsafe sexual practices. Wear loose clothing and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
