Can you apply compound ketoconazole ointment to balanitis?

Patient's question:

I have developed balanitis now. We have some Terbinafine cream at home. Hello, can Terbinafine cream be applied to balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is balanitis, and most consider it to be caused by local bacterial or fungal infections. It may be due to not paying enough attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding area recently, which can easily lead to itching or rashes. It is indeed appropriate to use topical compound ketoconazole ointment, but specific medication should be followed by a doctor's advice. At the same time, it is essential to pay close attention and maintain good local hygiene at home.
