Hi and thanks for the query,
It is important to get the proper possible etiology of the balanitis. The commonest cause of failure to treatment could be an inappropriate diagnosis, or poor treatment. It is important to know that some of the treatment could require long durations of treatments, while some patients take them only for relatively short durations of time. It might be necessary to consult a dermatologist or venerologist. Thanks and kind regards. In case your sexual partner has not consulted yet, it might be necessary for her to consult for review. Kind regards
