Is there any harm in keeping the foreskin retracted for a long time due to balanitis?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. I ask if there are any harms to keeping the foreskin retracted for a long time with balanitis.

Doctor's answer:

If it's not too tight, there is no problem considering it. Antifungal or antibiotic creams, as well as oral antibiotics, can be used. Boric acid water or Ringer's solution can be used for external washing of the affected area. Drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. I believe everyone knows that phimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
