Suggest Treatment For Balanitis
I believe I have balanitis caused by poor hygiene. I also believe the poor hygiene is caused by phimosis. I can t properly clean under the foreskin. My question is do you believe I should try some suggested creams and see if it is cured or go to the doctors?

Hi,
This problem is definitely due to not cleaning smegma from glans leading to irritation and infection.
Try to avert foreskin from glans and clean it gently.
If you can not pull back foreskin then you might be having phimosis and after consulting surgeon get circumcision procedure done.
Meanwhile try to maintain local hygiene proper.
Ok and take care.
