I've noticed some skin rashes on my penis and a small area on the head that looks irritated. Im worried it might be balanitis. How should I treat this? Is there something specific I need to do or avoid?

Balanitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the glans penis; to treat balanitis, practice good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths, and apply topical creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or antifungal medications.
