Hello.
Thanks for writing again.

Balanitis needs broad spectrum antibiotics for treatment.

Since the problem is long standing, it is best to get a swab culture and sensitivity done to find the antibiotic most suitable for you.

After the test, you can get the relevant antibiotics pescribed from your urologist.

Till then application of hydrocortisone cream will help.

Regarding lifestyle changes, you only need to keep the area clean and have safe sex practices.

Wishing you an early recovery.
Regards.
