Patient's question:
My foreskin peeled off a day ago. I feel it's not very sensitive. But when I slept last night (I slept naked, and my foreskin accidentally went back on again while I was napping), I noticed it looked thicker.Doctor's answer:
This may be due to balanitis caused by friction between the foreskin and underwear or bedding. Potassium permanganate solution can be used to reduce inflammation and swelling. This condition should be monitored for local cleanliness, and it generally can recover completely. Undergo a urological examination to check if the foreskin is too long. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision should be performed because it may lead to local inflammation and severe penile cancer. 2. Circumcision after foreskin surgery will not interfere with the growth and development of the foreskin.
