Patient's question:
For a while now, I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to have some flaky stuff falling off, like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Where are the good hospitals to go for red and swollen foreskin?Doctor's answer:
What are the methods for treating red and swollen foreskin? Red and swollen foreskin is caused by balanoposthitis. When men have excessive foreskin, it is often due to insufficient hygiene, allowing dirty substances between the foreskin and glans to accumulate over time. This creates a favorable environment for bacteria to grow, leading to irritation and infection of the foreskin and glans, resulting in redness and swelling. Inflammation of the glans mucosa is the most fundamental cause of red and swollen foreskin. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Red and swollen foreskin is an early symptom of balanoposthitis. Therefore, if you experience red and swollen foreskin, it is essential to seek medical examination promptly to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment. Wishing you good health.
