Balanitis refers to a variety of unrelated conditions. It results from infective, irritative, allergic, traumatic, or inflammatory causes; pre-malignant lesions have been also identified. All these causes are successively reviewed regarding their positive diagnosis and their treatment. Normal aspects of the balanopreputial area will be explained because they may cause some anxiety in certain patients. The difference between the circumcised and uncircumcised penile skin that cause differences in the incidence and appearance of dermatoses of the glans and corona will be studied. Pre-malignant lesions of the balanopreputial area, although not frequent, represent a difficult diagnosis and therapeutic challenge. The major problem is the earliness of the diagnosis that may avoid the occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, lichen sclerosus may develop into squamous cell carcinoma and therefore a lifelong follow-up must be implemented. Thus, any fixed, chronic or suspicious Lesion must be rapidly assessed by a biopsy.
