Patient's question:
Circumcision balanitis, taking amoxicillin, and cleaning the penis daily can it be cured? If not, can erythromycin ointment be used? Is erythromycin ointment applied directly to the glans? After applying, should the foreskin be retracted and allowed to dry? Can it be cured with medication and ointment?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis caused by Candida infection. Early medication and treatment can involve using gynecological cleaning solution or potassium permanganate to clean the private area, applying herbal Guianing externally, while maintaining local hygiene at all times to prevent bad contact and irritation. Avoid smoking, alcohol, overtime work, and exposure to cold, and adjust your mindset to develop good habits to promote full recovery. Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and regular medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Pay attention to controlling sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
