Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am not able to retract my foreskin from one month. Applying Betnovate ointment has not improved. Now inside the foreskin has become red and painful. Please suggest me medications.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I just read your query.
The problem of the tight foreskin is a month old and now it is associated with pain and redness. All the symptoms are indicating towards some sort of local infection. Infection can be any of these like contact dermatitis, sweat dermatitis, balanitis, eczema, or psoriasis etc. The type of infection can be ruled out only with the help of clinical examination. So I advise you to consult a urologist so that he can rule out the type of infection and can make a proper diagnosis. Once a proper diagnosis is made, it would be easier for you to get treatment and you will also come to know about your condition. Maintain local hygiene of penile area and wear comfortable inner garments too.
Follow up after three weeks.
