I have balanitis, what medicine should I use?

Patient's question:

Red small bumps on the glans for 20 days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The medication worked, but it came back again. What kind of help is needed: Is there a connection? How to treat it effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! In your condition, both parties need to be treated accordingly. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and hygiene must be maintained to prevent cross-infection. Regarding trichomoniasis, metronidazole (also known as Flagyl) can be used. Take 200mg of metronidazole intravaginally once nightly for 10 days as a course of treatment. If you first use 1% lactic acid or 0.5% acetic acid to clean the vagina, stabilizing the vaginal environment will enhance the efficacy. For balanoposthitis, potassium permanganate solution or phenol solution can be used for wet compresses. The ulcerated area should be dressed daily. If you need help, please contact me!
