Patient's question:
My foreskin initially had a blister-like thing, which was itchy. Later, I don't know when it broke, and I didn't pay much attention, just that the itching was sometimes severe and sometimes not noticeable. But one day, I suddenly saw peeling like ringworm, and at night, the itching became unbearable, which is really troublesome.What kind of help do I need:
What should I do about the itchy foreskin?
Doctor's answer:
Prevention and Care for Balanoposthitis (1) Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, seek timely treatment, and consider circumcision if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma promptly. (2) If one partner has a genital disease, sexual activity should be paused, and timely treatment is needed. If the infection is caused by trichomoniasis or Candida, both partners should be treated simultaneously. (3) Avoid unsafe sex and maintain a clean lifestyle. (4) If ulcers or erosion occur, change the medication promptly, twice daily, to prevent discomfort. (5) For acute balanoposthitis, avoid using corticosteroid creams to prevent more severe infections.
