What should be done about inflamed foreskin?

Patient's question:

Recently, I noticed that the outer ring of his foreskin is a bit red. Occasionally, he also mentions that it itches, about 4-5 times a day. It itches especially after each urination. What should I do if the foreskin is inflamed?

Doctor's answer:

First and foremost, it is essential to pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. It is recommended to clean the foreskin and glans once a day, and to change underwear frequently. The best choice is breathable pure cotton underwear, which should be changed daily. If the inflammation is significant, medication can be used for treatment.
Option 1: Soak in a high solution with a concentration of 1:5000, for 5-10 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day. This process generally takes 7-10 days. After soaking, you can apply ketoconazole cream.
