It could be balanoposthitis. You can use a high-manganese potassium permanganate solution with a dilution of 1:5000 for washing. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious, and infectious balanoposthitis is more common in clinical practice. The infectious form is often caused by unprotected sexual contact, leading to infections with Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, inadequate hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing inflammation. It is recommended to seek medical treatment.
