Have noninfectious balanitis, chronic,2x month.higher risk of cancer? hope to avoid circumcision.should see dermatologist or urologist for 2nd opinin?

Balanitis: If you experience recurrent or chronic balanitis I recommend a consultation with both a dermatologist(for diagnosis and treatment) and a urologist, only if the dermatologist suggests so since you're hoping to avoid a circumcision.
