Patient's question:
Recently, the weather has been particularly hot. I'm usually quite active, but I've developed balanitis recently, and my glans has become slightly swollen, so I want to apply some erythromycin ointment. Hello, can I apply erythromycin ointment for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that bacterial balanitis has reoccurred, you can consider using topical erythromycin ointment promptly, which has a certain effect on anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, it is essential to always maintain dryness and cleanliness in the affected area. In necessary cases, you may consider undergoing a circumcision procedure at the hospital. Generally, most will show significant improvement after timely resolution. Pay attention to a light diet.
