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 topical application also works well. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. If patients are troubled by balanitis, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented without avoiding medical consultation. If balanitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
