Balanitis

When To Call A Professional

Contact your physician if:

• You develop balanitis that does not respond to hygiene measures and an over-the-counter antifungal medication

• Your physician's prescription does not appear to be curing your condition

• The balanitis keeps returning

• You have diabetes, because balanitis may be a signal that your blood sugar is not well controlled.

Prognosis

The outlook is excellent if the problem is treated.
