Patient's question:
My boyfriend has recently been feeling uncomfortable with his glans. I want to apply a lot of erythromycin ointment. Can erythromycin ointment treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this ointment is effective for bacterial balanitis. However, if it's caused by other reasons, such as fungal infections or allergies, the effect will be minimal. Using this ointment won't be very helpful. If you feel discomfort in your glans, I personally recommend going to the hospital for a check-up first to determine the type, and then decide on the ointment. This will make the treatment more targeted.
