Circinate balanitis is one of the most common types of balanitis which is a result of reactive arthritis. Reactive arthritis is a kind of arthritis that develops in response to an infection in the body. In circinate balanitis, the skin around the shaft and tip of the penis gets inflamed. This inflammation around the penis can be treated using cortisone creams like topicort.

In the beginning, men with circinate balanitis experience pin-sized dots with a white plaque on them which grow into flat, red areas hardly covered by white plaque. Despite the visible symptoms of circinate balanitis, patients in nearly all cases do not experience any burning or itching, nor there is any strange smell. Due to its analogy to a fungal skin infection, circinate balanitis is often misdiagnosed as mycosis – specifically in cases where patients have no other symptoms of reactive arthritis.
A doctor makes the diagnosis of circinate balanitis after carefully examining the skin. A small skin sample is taken from the skin of the penis and inspected under the microscope to confirm the presence of circinate balanitis.
Cortisone creams are the most commonly used treatment for circinate balanitis. Since reactive arthritis cannot be healed as such, patients are advised to follow a continuous topical treatment – otherwise, they might notice the symptoms again after 3-4 days of the treatment.
Circinate balanitis, if recurrent, requires circumcision. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. In the absence of the foreskin, there is no longer an environment for an infection or inflammation that can result in circinate balanitis. Hence, an effective treatment for circinate balanitis can be open, laser circumcision and stapler circumcision.
Prolonged circinate balanitis can have certain risks and complications, if left untreated. Some of the complications of circinate balanitis include:

Circinate balanitis is a urological condition that causes small lesions on the head of the penis. Despite the visible symptoms of circinate balanitis, patients in nearly all cases do not experience any pain.
Although circinate balanitis usually does not need treatment, it can serve as a salient marker of underlying genitourinary infections, which requires treatment to prevent relapses.
Circumcision offers a permanent cure for circinate balanitis by eliminating an environment for an infection or inflammation. The foreskin that covers the tip of the penis is surgically removed during circumcision.
Caprylic acid and lauric acid present in coconut oil are very useful in soothing irritated skin. Therefore, coconut oil is one of the best remedies to get fast relief from circinate balanitis.
