Zoon's balanitis is a condition showing inflammation in the head of the penis and foreskin. It often affects middle-aged males to older males who have not done circumcision. There is an appearance of brown patches with a sharp boundary from the normal-appearing skin. It is managed by doing a CO2 laser, circumcision, dorsal slit of the prepuce, and applying Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment.
