Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 21 years old, have had sexual activity, and have phimosis. Recently, my glans is red. When I shower, I retract my foreskin, and it hurts a lot where the foreskin connects to the glans. There is also white, purulent discharge on the glans, and yellowish stains on my underwear. It's also a bit itchy. These symptoms have been going on for about a week.I just used sulfur soap for showering. I wonder if it has something to do with that. Is this acute superficial balanitis? What medication should I take? Can I use Prasen (Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream)? I want to get my foreskin circumcised. When is the best time?
