I found a remedy that will help almost anyone suffering from Balanitis, and it worked for me. Buy a soap with lavender oil (I buy Dr. B_____'s liquid soap) and wash the infected area. Then apply the following mixture to the area: Thyme linalol essential oil (3 drops) per 2 teaspoons of Jojoba oil mixed in a bottle. The oils can be found online or at any well supplied grocer/herbalist. Keep washing and applying the oils. For a mild case this usually takes a day or two. I hope this helps.
