What could be the reason for balanitis when on antibiotics?
Hi doctor,
I am a 49-year-old male. For the past six to seven years, whenever I am on an antibiotic course (Augmentin Duo 625 mg). It results in balanitis and smegma production, which troubles me for two to three weeks and then disappears. About two months ago, I was on an antibiotic (Augmentin) for a throat infection, and I got balanitis. Now it is refusing to get cured completely. It gets cured, then it comes back again after a few days. Please advise.

I had itching in the penis and tear when I retracted my foreskin. This is happening for the past two to three times when I participate in intercourse and use condoms. I did not know what to do.
