What causes redness and swelling of the penis foreskin?

Patient's question:

I felt redness and swelling of the foreskin of my penis recently, and I want to ask what might be the cause of this?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, there is balanitis. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally, taking levofloxacin orally, and azithromycin. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have an early circumcision. Wash the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to washing the foreskin before and after sexual activity. This condition is not easy to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce their confidence in combating foreskin redness and swelling, believing that they can definitely recover.
