I Think I Have Balanitis. Can I Cure It with Good Hygiene?
Unfortunately, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet. Balanitis is a treatable condition when diagnosed by a medical professional before major issues begin. We strongly recommend seeing a doctor to confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible to avoid any potential long term or worsening symptoms. The doctor will also explain a plan of treatment to help cure it.
If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist. Good luck!
