Patient's question:
Penis red and itchy, with a small red spot, not on the glans, and I'm not circumcised. Is it inflammation?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line choices. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, itraconazole or griseofulvin is commonly used.
