A member asked:
I believe i have balanitis. can i treat it with anti-fungal ointment and antibiotic ointment at the same time?

Self diagnosis is mostly wrong. But pl wash any inflamed area with soap and water and apply cortisone cream and see your doc or preferably a Urologist asap. Hope you do well
