Can erythromycin ointment be used for glans inflammation?

Balanitis is a common disease currently. Many people discover it while taking a bath, because many men do not pay much attention to the inflammation of their bodies. When minor symptoms appear, no one cares. However, gradually they will find that it is balanitis, and the harm is also quite large. Whether erythromycin ointment can be used for balanitis in normal times, it is recommended to consult a doctor and not to use it casually.

Overview

I found out that I had balanitis when I was taking a shower. I always felt that something was wrong with my glans. It used to be very clean, but later I found that there were a lot of bumps on it. I felt uneasy, so I searched a lot of information online and found that it was probably balanitis. Today I felt a little itchy, and I touched it and it felt hot and red and swollen. I didn't want to go to the hospital because I felt embarrassed, so I wanted to use erythromycin ointment, but I didn't know.

Can I apply erythromycin ointment to balanitis?

1. You can apply erythromycin ointment, but it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi. If it is caused by fungi, it is recommended that you apply antifungal drugs topically, such as Daknin, etc. Erythromycin ointment can only be used if it is caused by bacteria.

2 Generally, balanitis can be cleaned with 1:5000 potassium permanganate. When cleaning, the foreskin should be turned over, and then antibiotic ointment should be applied. Antibiotics can also be used appropriately. It can basically be cured within a few days. It is recommended to be done under the guidance of a doctor.

3 Antibiotics are more suitable for those with secondary infections. Generally speaking, antifungal drugs are more suitable for Candida albicans, and glucocorticoids are more suitable for putrefactive balanitis. At the same time, you should pay attention to hygiene, take a bath frequently every day, and avoid masturbation during treatment.

Note:

In the case of balanitis, you cannot take medication on your own. It is recommended to get checked and then actively undergo drug sensitivity tests. Then find out the symptoms before taking medication. Otherwise, the recovery may be slower. Using sensitivity drugs will heal quickly.
