What issues can cause foreskin itching?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is also quite unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? Also, what causes the itching of the foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

1. You can use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva and penis, and then apply a compound clotrimazole ointment to the affected area. If accompanied by symptoms of fever and general malaise, you will need to take oral antibiotics, such as those in the cephalosporin class.
2. If the condition is not stable, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital immediately for relevant examinations and early diagnosis. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek immediate diagnosis at a professional and regular hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene. Finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
