Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Balanitis is a common problem because of infection of the tip of the penis or the skin covering it. First, you must do a blood sugar test to rule out diabetes because this problem is very common in people having high sugar. Next, the treatment will depend on the severity of balanitis, for which the urologist needs a physical examination. In mild to moderate cases, the ointment of antibiotics and steroids is given for one week, and results are assessed. In case the balanitis is severe, then circumcision surgery is needed. In this surgery, prepuce skin is removed.

I hope this information will help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, Luliconazole can be applied for now. As I suggested earlier, a physical examination by a urologist is needed to ensure the severity and plan further treatment if required.

I hope this information will help.
