Itching in the foreskin without clear cause - what could be the reason?

Patient's question:

I was a relatively smart boy since I was young, and my family members liked me very much. The only flaw I had was that I was quite lazy and didn't like changing my clothes. Because of this, I got punished quite a few times. When I was young, I didn't think much of it, but now that I'm older, I don't feel the same way anymore. Over the past two years, there has been redness and pain on the glans and foreskin, and I can't figure out the reason for this. What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Because you are usually quite lazy and don't like to change your clothes or underwear, and you haven't paid much attention to the hygiene of your private parts, under these circumstances, the possibility of a recurrent infection of the glans is relatively high. Therefore, it is recommended that you use warm water to clean the penis and glans area daily to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene. If redness, swelling, and itching occur again, it is better to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the type of infection and receive timely anti-inflammatory treatment.
