What medication is best for balanitis?

Patient's question:

The glans is not smooth, and there are patches of yellow spots on the foreskin. Is erythromycin ointment effective? If it's not suitable, what medication should be used instead?

Doctor's answer:

Phimosis and balanitis are caused by infrequent lifting of the foreskin to clean the glans. This condition is more common in individuals with phimosis or paraphimosis. It is recommended that if there is no phimosis or paraphimosis, one should persist in lifting the foreskin regularly to clean it with a mild antiseptic solution. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, surgery should be performed as soon as possible for treatment. If the inflammation is severe, oral medication should be taken in conjunction with the treatment. Additionally, for male patients undergoing treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you.
