Treatment of Balanoposthitis in Circinate Balanitis of the Glans Penis

Clinical Scenario

The presentation of circinate balanitis of the glans penis may occur in isolation or as part of a broader systemic picture. Notably, this pattern is also recognised in Reactive Arthritis — a post-infective syndrome triggered by urethritis or enteritis in genetically predisposed individuals. Identifying whether an underlying systemic or infectious driver is present is relevant to management.

Treatment Approach (Partial Overview)

Management follows an approach aligned with psoriasis treatment principles, centred on topical corticosteroid therapy. Where an underlying infection is identified, it is addressed as part of the treatment plan.

The full structured regimen — including agent selection, application guidance, and sequencing — is available via the complete protocol.
