Red inside foreskin

The foreskin of a man plays a very important role in the male penis, because the male genitals are very fragile and sensitive. Without the protection of the foreskin, the male penis will have some male diseases. However, an excessively long foreskin is not good for the health of men. It is very easy for some dirty things to be hidden inside the foreskin, which can easily cause inflammation. So what is the reason for the redness inside the foreskin?

Consider glansitis, which is an inflammation of the foreskin caused by bacteria, physical, and chemical stimulation. It can also cause inflammation of the foreskin mucosa, which is called dermatitis. When the mucosa of the glans foreskin and foreskin are inflamed at the same time, it is called glans foreskinitis. Go to the hospital actively for necessary examinations, make a clear diagnosis as early as possible, and give targeted treatment in time. If the inflammation is caused by excessive foreskin, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be given, and circumcision should be performed after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining personal and local hygiene and cleanliness, avoiding irritation, and applying wet compresses, anti-inflammatory and astringent drugs depending on the condition. Antibiotics can be used systemically for those with systemic symptoms

Candidal balanitis presents as erythema on the glans, with small pustules or papules on the surface. Candidal balanitis can also present as local edema of the glans mucosa, mild desquamation at the edges, and papules and pustules that expand to form glans erosion. Recurrent candidal balanitis can cause local dryness, fibrosis and other changes. The disease is generally treated with topical antifungal ointments, and oral antifungal drugs can also be used in severe cases. In the early stage of candidal balanitis, the glans penis and foreskin surface are edematous and congested, the area around the urethral opening is red, and wounds and erosions appear. It may develop into superficial ulcers, with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient will feel itching or burning in the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, pus may flow out with a foul odor. In severe cases, there will also be fatigue, low fever, enlarged and tender inguinal lymph nodes.

Local treatment is very important. For those with dry and scaly skin, apply corticosteroid ointment. For those with erosive exudate, apply potassium permanganate solution or refluxol-resorcinol solution. Change the dressing on the ulcerated surface every day and perform physical therapy.
