Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old. There is some itching under my glans, the color is red, and there is often smegma. I used an anti-inflammatory ointment I bought, but it didn't work well. Please ask: What is the matter when the glans is red, swollen, with smegma and itchy?Doctor's answer:
Multiple factors may be considered to be inflammation caused by excessive foreskin. It is recommended that you use a cleaning solution to wash, apply some anti-inflammatory ointment, and take oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Once the inflammation subsides, you may consider surgical removal of the excessive foreskin. In daily life, dietary habits should be appropriate, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Personal hygiene should be paid attention to, ensuring thorough cleaning of the foreskin to remove dirt. Avoid sexual activity until recovery to prevent worsening the infection.
