Call your doctor: Balanitis is usually caused by a yeast (candida) infection. Hence, an antifungal ointment may suffice. Off the record: go to the doctor! god only gave you one of these organs.

Not worth the risk: Balanitis is an infection of the penis. If not properly treated, it can lead to serious damage and real problems down the road. This is not something you want to try and treat yourself. Please go see your doc right away.
