How is balanitis treated?

Patient's question:

I have been very particular about personal hygiene, but for some reason, my glans always tends to get inflamed. The inflammation causes me a lot of pain. I have tried many different treatment methods, but the glans inflammation still keeps recurring. What is the best way to treat glans inflammation? I do not expect the glans inflammation to recur again.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, the clinical diagnosis of balanitis suggests that frequent recurrence is related to the lack of timely treatment or medication. For treating balanitis, the primary approach is local topical medication, such as fluticasone acetate cream or anti-inflammatory ointments, applied locally. During treatment, if the inflammation is severe, systemic medication may be administered.
