Patients with Candida infection can clean the affected area with sodium bicarbonate solution and then apply imidazole ointment. For those infected with Trichomonas, rinse with 0.5% to 1% lactic acid solution or 0.5% acetic acid solution, and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Intermittent administration of medium-acting, fluoride-free hormonal ointment has a good effect on plasma cell balanitis.

Systemic antimicrobial drugs should be selected based on the pathogen and drug sensitivity tests. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, antibiotics sensitive to Gram-positive cocci can be used first.
