How is balanitis treated

Patient's question:

I have phimosis, and a few days ago, there were several small red spots on the head of my penis. Initially, there were two, and after two days, they became four. Ten days ago, I had unprotected sex, and I'm very scared. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was balanitis, but the doctor was unwilling to explain the details to me. He just said it would be fine after three days of treatment. Then they used both aerosol red light and IV drips, which cost me over 600. After that, they said I still need three more days of treatment, but they didn't prescribe any medication. I don't have money, and I want to buy the medication myself. What should I use? Can I use Wujiqu ointment externally and Amoxicillin internally?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is likely bacterial balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, apply Bactroban ointment externally, and take medications such as ciprofloxacin tablets and amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory treatment. Pay attention to avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and change your underwear and pants frequently.
I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, follow-up appointments can be scheduled as needed.
