How to treat foreskin problems

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, there are red blood vessels at the connection point between my foreskin and penis, which don't seem to transition normally. Usually, it doesn't hurt or itch, but when I retract the foreskin all the way to the head, it feels a bit like a burning sensation. I suspect it might be inflamed, but several anti-inflammatory medications haven't worked.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, don't panic too much. This symptom is generally a symptom of balanitis. The cause of balanitis in patients may be due to excessive foreskin: excessive foreskin can lead to smegma, which contains a large number of bacteria. Combined with some changes in climate, it can cause itching of the glans. This condition requires timely circumcision.
