Patient's question:
What medicine is used for balanitis, and how much does it cost to have the foreskin cut?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of balanoposthitis often uses griseofulvin or itraconazole. Potassium permanganate solution for external washing is effective against both bacterial and fungal infections, and povidone-iodine for external application also works well. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or an overly long foreskin, circumcision should be performed. If patients are troubled by balanitis, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If balanitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
