What should I do if the head of my penis is red, swollen, and itchy?

Patient's question:

There is white stuff on the head of the penis. After wiping it with a wet wipe, it has a slightly greenish color. Then, since I have foreskin, when I pull it back, the inner side of the foreskin is bright red and painful. On the head of the penis, there are only small red bumps.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the self-phenomena you mentioned, it is advisable to consider poor local hygiene or unhygienic sexual practices, which may have led to local infections causing inflammation and discomfort. It is recommended to visit a hospital's surgical department or urologist for a thorough examination to identify the causative pathogen. Subsequently, treatment should be considered, and steps should be taken to return to normalcy. In the future, preventive measures should be implemented to avoid recurrence.
Reference: Phimosis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, use medications appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay close attention to personal hygiene.
