Synopsis
Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis. Balanoposthitis refers to inflammation of both the glans and foreskin in uncircumcised males. It is most commonly seen in toilet-trained, uncircumcised boys between the ages of 2 and 5. Most cases are caused by inadequate hygiene of the preputial-glanular sulcus. Exposure to urine, soaps, Candida, and bacterial overgrowth exacerbate the dermatitis. Most boys only have one episode.
