Brief Answer: You can stop medication now. Detailed Answer: Hello, Since balanitis has cleared off you can stop the medication now.Peeling wont affect your wife.Peeling will stop in few days after stopping medication.No restriction on sex as such. Skin is looking reddish because it is new skin, take care you dont harm it while sex.Try condom for few days to protect the new skin.Washing with soap and plain water is fine and well accepted.Its difficult to predict whether balanitis will recur or not.Just try to keep the region clean and be vigilant for any inflammation in this region.Hope this helps.Regards.
