Accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate management, avoid unnecessary antimicrobial use, identify sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and recognise conditions requiring specialist referral. The 2025 guideline update was developed to strengthen recommendations on the diagnosis and management of infective balanoposthitis while improving recognition of important non-infective dermatoses and systemic disease presentations.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The guideline update was informed by a review of the current evidence base, emerging clinical data, and expert multidisciplinary consensus. Existing recommendations were reviewed and revised to reflect advances in diagnostic approaches, antimicrobial stewardship, and the management of inflammatory and premalignant penile dermatoses. Particular emphasis was placed on improving diagnostic accuracy, identifying clinical features suggestive of STIs or systemic disease, and clarifying indications for biopsy and specialist referral.\u00a0\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Discussion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The updated guideline highlights the importance of a structured clinical assessment supported by targeted investigations where appropriate. Infective causes remain an important consideration, including candidal balanoposthitis, bacterial infection, and STIs; however, the guideline also emphasises the need to recognise common inflammatory dermatoses such as lichen sclerosus, psoriasis, eczema, and Zoon balanitis, as well as premalignant and malignant conditions. The recommendations promote evidence-based treatment strategies, reduce unnecessary empirical antimicrobial prescribing, and encourage earlier identification of patients requiring dermatology, urology, or penile cancer specialist input.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This 2025 guideline update aims to support clinicians in the earlier recognition and accurate diagnosis of balanoposthitis and related penile dermatoses. By promoting evidence-based management, antimicrobial stewardship, and timely referral for specialist care where indicated, the guideline seeks to improve patient outcomes and standardise care across sexual health and related clinical services.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09564624261452757","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]],"date-time":"2026-05-30T13:31:02Z","timestamp":1780147862000},"page":"969-983","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["BASHH national guideline on the management of balanoposthitis (and related penile skin conditions) 2026"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Sarah K.","family":"Edwards","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pareswaran","family":"Shashidharan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Homerton University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Imali","family":"Fernando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Edinburgh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5986-0695","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgina","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dayan","family":"Vijeratnam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Solent NHS Trust"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1862-452X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jason Eng","family":"Kiat Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0232-1583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deepa","family":"Grover","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BASHH Clinical Effectiveness Group, Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpvm.IJPVM_377_16"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","first-page":"35","volume-title":"ABC of Sexually Transmitted Infections","author":"Edwards S","year":"2011","unstructured":"Edwards S, Bunker C.
