Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, which can irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis. This disease can also be caused by bacterial or fungal infection or drug allergy.

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.
