What are the treatments for balanitis?

Patient's question:

Now I really like drinking beer, and when I drink beer to my heart's content, I will smoke. Due to my long-term habit of drinking beer and smoking, I occasionally play mahjong. Sometimes I don't have the time to wash my face. Sometimes when I go to the bathroom, I feel my hands are very dirty, but I don't have the time to wash them. Now I have balanitis, and I would like to know what are the treatments for balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

The male genital area is relatively moist and not breathable, and combined with poor personal hygiene, it is very easy to lead to balanitis. For the treatment of balanitis, most methods involve a combination of topical medication and oral medication. You can apply erythromycin ointment and clotrimazole ointment to the affected area, mixing the two medications and applying them 2-3 times a day, while also taking amoxicillin orally for anti-inflammatory effects. Continue the treatment for 7 days.
When patients face male sexual health issues, we should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
