Whats the best way to treat balanitis? i have whiteheads on the head of penis, frequent urination. what's the best remedy?

There are two main kinds of balanitis, treated differently. "Nonspecific" balanitis often is helped by hydrocortisone cream. Yeast infection needs anti fungal cream; hydrocortisone can make it worse. First try hygiene: retract foreskin and wash with soap and water 1-2x, then try the others. Balanitis doesn't usually cause frequent urination. See MD if these don't work and the problem continues.

The best way is to be examined by a Urologist if you really have it as opposed to self diagnosis. Frequency is not a part of balanitis. Whiteheads do not usually occur on head of penis. You might have 'penile papules' which are innocuous. In any case pl see a Urologist
