What are the methods for treating balanitis?

Patient's question:

When I get paid, I'm the happiest. Sometimes, I drink beer with my colleagues and recall my wife and young children from my hometown, and I really miss home. I haven't engaged in casual sex; I just have sex when I'm free. Recently, my penis has been very uncomfortable, and I've developed balanitis.
