If a bacterial infection caused your balanitis, your doctor may prescribe a seven-day course of an antibiotic tablet called amoxicillin. This is a type of penicillin, so if you have a penicillin allergy, erythromycin or clarithromycin may be prescribed instead. In some cases, you may be given an antibiotic cream, such as metronidazole or clindamycin. ::: body-ad-desktop zones:: 232632,232545,227375,232640 types:: 163 disclaimer:: AD typeFilter:: native adCount:: 3 :::
