Patient's question:
My uncle has never paid much attention to hygiene in terms of sexual activity. It has been going on for half a month, and his glans has been very painful. His penis is constantly peeling, and in addition to some discharge, a careful examination revealed it to be balanitis. I would like to ask which ointment is the best for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If there is balanitis, you should first pay attention to hygiene in your daily life, avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and refrain from sexual activity. Additionally, prevent unsafe sex. Locally, you can use warm water or potassium permanganate for cleaning, and then apply erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment. These two ointments have a relatively good anti-inflammatory effect. For oral medication, you can take amoxicillin or ofloxacin. With this treatment, it will gradually improve.
