Can Daktarin treat balanitis?

Patient's question:

I have developed balanitis and it's causing me a lot of pain. My friend suggested using Daqin, but I want to ask a doctor if Daqin is effective for treating balanitis.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is not recommended to treat balanitis with Daqun, as Daqun is an external antifungal medication. Most cases of balanitis are caused by excessive foreskin, phimosis, and poor hygiene of the genitalia. For balanitis, it is generally advised to pay attention to genital hygiene, clean the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans with warm water daily, and follow medical advice for antibiotic treatment. Cephalosporins or quinolone anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly recommended.
