Patient's question:
A few days ago, I was diagnosed with balanitis, which is very itchy. Can balanitis be treated with topical medication?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of balanitis are caused by phimosis or excessive prepuce. You can soak and wash with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, 2-3 times a day, each time for 15-20 minutes. Antibiotics can also be taken orally. Further treatment should be carried out after the inflammation improves.
