Patient's question:
What medications can be used to treat balanitis? I had a circumcision three weeks ago, and my wound has scabs, and my glans hurts! Thank you, doctorDoctor's answer:
Balanitis is generally caused by poor hygiene, leading to the growth of bacteria or viruses, which then result in infection. In such cases, iodophor is used for sterilization, followed by the application of Bactroban or erythromycin ointment. In fact, having balanitis is not at all; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
