Patient's question:
I have been using Prilosec for a long time, and it usually works after one application. However, it is said to contain hormones. Besides, there are no ointments that work as well as this one without hormones. It is likely to be a yeast infection, and the symptoms reappear as small red spots, sometimes with a layer of white substance and a bit of odor. What ointment should be used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
First and foremost, personal hygiene should be paid attention to for balanoposthitis. After rinsing the affected area with warm water, use povidone-iodine swabs for sterilization, two to three times a day. Fish oil ointment can be applied. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as smoking and alcohol consumption. Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unprotected sexual behavior. After rinsing the area with warm water each night, apply sterilizing medication locally. If necessary, consult a doctor for a thorough examination. The condition of balanoposthitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment.
