How to treat balanitis?

Patient's question:

The foreskin mucosa has red spots, with discharge and itching. The foreskin can be retracted without any bad contagious diseases.

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis and balanitis are generally caused by bacterial infections due to excessive foreskin or phimosis, leading to inflammation. Local medication is usually the best treatment method, and oral medication is not necessary. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and seafood in the near future to effectively prevent recurrent inflammation. Additionally, it is essential to undergo circumcision as soon as possible to avoid future recurrence of balanitis.
