    Bacterial balanitis can generally be treated with erythromycin ointment, fusidic acid cream, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs, but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    1. Erythromycin ointment

    It is a relatively common ointment for external use. After use, it can have a good effect on relieving the symptoms of redness, swelling and pain in the glans area caused by bacterial balanitis.

    2. Fusidic acid cream

    After applying the ointment, the symptoms of discomfort in the glans area can be relieved. The glans area needs to be cleaned when applying.

    3. Amoxicillin capsules
