• Balanitis is an inflammation of the end of the penis (the glans). Often the foreskin is also inflamed at the same time as the glans. Balanitis is common, and it can occur at any age. It more commonly affects boys under four years and also men who have not been circumcised. It is very uncommon in men who have been circumcised.
• Treatment depends on the cause of the balanitis. For example, infectious balanitis may be treated with antibiotic pills or creams. Balanitis occurring with skin diseases may respond to steroid creams. In severe cases, circumcision may be the best option.
