Is mupirocin ointment effective for balanitis?

Patient's question:

Hello, my girlfriend used her mouth on my glans, and after that, my glans became itchy and slightly painful, with some small red blisters on it. Is it glans inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

You mentioned that you've now realized you have balanitis, and you're asking if mupirocin ointment works well. The head of your penis is itchy, and besides the red spots caused by balanitis due to poor hygiene, there are also red spots and itching. You're considering using Baifen ointment to treat it. You could try using povidone-iodine swabs and clean the head of your penis 3 to 4 times a day. The condition of balanitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication treatment. Additionally, for male patients, it's important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
