A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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
