How to treat balanitis with medication

Patient's question:

The doctor prescribed a solution and a cream for me. I forgot what the doctor said to use first and then wait 30 minutes before using the other one. What is the correct order?

Doctor's answer:

As you described, when the reproductive system is invaded by viruses, bacteria, chlamydia, or other pathogens, leading to balanitis, topical medications should be applied first with a solution, followed by the application of cream. It is crucial to strictly monitor for any allergies or discomfort, and if necessary, switch to a new medication and follow up with a doctor. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
