Recurring balanitis for several months, what should I do?

Patient's question:

The has been recurring for several months. It gets better when medication is used, but it comes back immediately after stopping. Oral terbinafine tablets are taken internally, and mupirocin ointment is applied externally. It has never been completely cured. Feeling frustrated. What should I do about the recurring?

Doctor's answer:

This should be an infection caused by a fungus. I think, for you, first you should figure out what disease you have and whether it can be transmitted by fungi before taking medication. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should have a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
