When a man has excessive foreskin, poor hygiene often leads to the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, known as smegma, creating a favorable environment for bacterial growth. This results in irritation and infection of the foreskin and glans, leading to recurrent redness and swelling. The inflammation of the glans mucosa is the most fundamental factor causing foreskin redness and swelling. This condition can be caused by infections with various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors.
