How is balanitis treated?

Patient's question:

Over a year ago, the doctor said I had balanitis with itching. I've used several medications, but it hasn't improved.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, balanoposthitis is caused by excessive foreskin. Due to excessive foreskin, secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, leading to local inflammation and symptoms such as: redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital for examination. It is best to undergo a foreskin surgery to completely prevent the occurrence of balanoposthitis.
