Your condition may be possible to be balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner foreskin secretions cannot be cleaned timely and thoroughly, allowing pathogens to grow and leading to local inflammation, presenting symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and odor. Solutions: If it is mild, you can regularly clean with clean water or potassium permanganate solution; if it is severe, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis to receive treatment; if it recurs frequently, it is best to undergo circumcision, which can prevent the recurrence of balanitis.
