Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some discomfort in my foreskin and penis, with occasional itching. Feeling that it was bearable, I didn't go to the hospital but took some medicine. However, today my foreskin has swelled, and it's itchy and a bit painful. Red spots have also started appearing on my glans. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
