Patient's question:
Penis foreskin is too long, recently itchy, red and swollen when retracted, with white discharge. My foreskin has always been long, and for the past few days, I've been feeling itchy around the penis. When I retract the foreskin, it's swollen and red in a large circle, and there's also white discharge with a yellowish tint. How to treat the itching and redness/swelling of the foreskin when it's too long?Doctor's answer:
Still caused by inflammation, it is recommended that you use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for disinfection, then apply an antibiotic ointment, such as Compound Ketoconazole Ointment. While addressing the local issue, oral or anesthetic antibiotics should also be taken. Conditions with excessive foreskin tend to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
