    Use mupirocin ointment for balanitis, but you need to consult your doctor before using it.

    Balanitis is relatively common in life. It is mainly caused by bacterial infection, which can easily lead to local itching or increased secretions. Mupirocin ointment has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. After application, it can promote the disappearance of inflammation. It is more convenient and fast to operate and can achieve the purpose of treatment. However, the severity of each person is different, and the dosage of medicine may be different.

    During the treatment of balanitis, you should pay attention to the hygiene of the glans area, keep it dry and clean, change underwear every day, and expose the underwear to the sun.
