Etiology of balanitis 1. Non-infectious factors. 2. Candida infection. 3. Amoebic infection. 4. Trichomoniasis infection. Additionally, some causes of balanitis remain unclear, but excessive foreskin and the irritation of smegma are often associated with the occurrence of balanitis. Treatment is generally both internal and external. For acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments, taken four times daily. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line treatment, taken three times daily for 10 days. For balanitis caused by Candida, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole.
