Most cases of balanitis are easily treated with a combination of creams or ointments and good hygiene, such as avoiding substances that irritate the penis.
In rare cases of balanitis that keeps coming back, circumcision (surgical removal of the foreskin) may be recommended. For example, if a man has a pre-existing condition that makes them unable to pull back their foreskin to clean it (phimosis), or persistent dribbling of urine following urination.
