Patient's question:
I noticed that the head of my penis is a bit inflamed. The doctor suggested that I take some medication. What kind of medication should be used to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If the inflammation of the glans is not severe, local medication alone can be used, and there is no need for oral medication. If it is severe, oral medication combined with external application is necessary. You can follow the treatment method I mentioned: every night, first soak the glans in a solution of Jie'eryin mixed with warm water, then dry it with a sterile cotton swab, and then disinfect it with povidone-iodine. Finally, apply clotrimazole ointment. You can also alternate it with erythromycin ointment. It should heal quickly.
