Patient's question:
Can clotrimazole ointment treat balanitis? Doctor, please help, I'm very anxious now. I've noticed it's inflamed. Can it work this way?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that you have balanitis, then you can use this ointment for treatment. You can apply Clotrimazole cream externally, but before using it, you should first wipe the area with a dissolved potassium permanganate solution. It is important to pay attention to maintaining local hygiene at all times and to eat less spicy and irritating foods. Rest more and, if you have phimosis, consider undergoing a circumcision procedure.
