Patient's question:
The foreskin is relatively long, with some redness, swelling, and pain that has lasted for about 2 days. How should I treat the redness and swelling of the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Wash the penis gently with warm water, using only a small amount of soap, and make sure it is thoroughly clean. Wear loose underwear. Avoid touching the penis for 1-2 weeks to give it time to rest. Gradually, it will improve. While cleaning and resting, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. If the redness and swelling do not improve after resting, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. In addition, during the treatment for red and swollen foreskin, besides medication, the patient's diet and mental state are also very important. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary effects on the complete recovery of the foreskin.
