What is going on with the red and swollen foreskin?

Patient's question:

Expert, I recently have some redness and swelling on my foreskin, and it's covered with a layer of white hair. I'm very upset. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation should be considered as balanoposthitis. Oral roxithromycin should be taken, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. The patient is experiencing redness and swelling of the foreskin, and we should actively adopt treatment measures without avoiding medical consultation. If the redness and swelling do not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented promptly.
