I have foreskin, I clean it every day, but recently the head of my penis has started peeling.

Patient's question:

I have a foreskin, and I clean it every day, but recently the head of my penis has been shedding very badly. It has now reached the thinnest layer that is bleeding, and it is also very itchy.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is considered to be balanitis. Clinically, it is generally caused by cross-infection under conditions such as long foreskin or an untreated gynecological disease in the sexual partner. Different causes require different treatments, and the same applies here. It is recommended that both you and your partner visit a hospital for clinical examination at an early stage to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment to avoid delaying the condition. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided.
