The consideration is balanitis. Apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning. Maintain dryness at all times. Under the guidance of a doctor, take antibiotics for treatment. Pay attention to genital hygiene. Keep it dry at all times. Bathe frequently. Change underwear frequently. Avoid a history of unprotected sex. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be stabilized.
