Treatment for redness, swelling and itching on the inner side of the foreskin

The glans of a normal adult male is exposed. If the foreskin normally covers the entire penis, it is generally called the foreskin. The foreskin has a great impact on the health of the male reproductive system, especially it is easy to cause balanitis, which will cause the inner side of the foreskin to become red, swollen and itchy. However, many men think that the foreskin has no harm, so they don’t realize that they have balanitis until the inner side of the foreskin becomes red, swollen and itchy. At this time, you should pay attention to timely treatment to solve the problem of redness, swelling and itching on the inner side of the foreskin.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the inner side of the foreskin is red, swollen and itchy. It is an inflammation of the foreskin, that is, it is indeed infected with pathogenic bacteria. However, whether it is a sexually transmitted disease pathogen or not still needs to be tested by secretions. You can go directly to the hospital to do a secretion test to confirm the diagnosis. If you don't want to go to the hospital, then you can wash it first. The specific treatment methods are as follows:

treatment

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.

Prevention

Wash the foreskin and glans penis frequently, and keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. You should pay attention to developing good hygiene habits. Circumcision is a good preventive measure for those with excessive foreskin or phimosis (foreskin cannot be turned over). If the disease is found, turn over the foreskin at the affected area, soak and clean it with potassium permanganate solution, and use antibiotics appropriately. Most cases will be cured within a few days. If the disease is more serious, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

This article introduces the solutions and prevention methods for redness, swelling and itching on the inner side of the foreskin. Here, we would like to remind all male friends that foreskin is not only likely to cause redness, swelling and itching on the inner side of the foreskin, but it is also harmful to your sexual partner because the foreskin is always prone to harbor smegma, which are bacteria and viruses. Because it is difficult to clean, it is easy to infect your significant other during sexual intercourse. I hope all male friends will pay attention to this.
