The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection. The foreskin of the penis is an ideal place for bacteria to grow. Injuries on the tip of the penis or foreskin can also cause swelling. Irritation in the area can also cause balanitis. Irritation can arise from: not rinsing soap completely off of your penis after showering using scented soaps to clean the penis using bar soap that dries out the skin using scented lotions or sprays on the penis Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin.In case of an infection, you will need an antibiotic medication like T BACT ointment to help clear it. In some cases, this may be all that?s needed to stop the inflammation, swelling, itching, and discharge.
