Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am not able to retract my foreskin for one month. Applying Betnovate ointment has not improved. Now inside the foreskin has become red and painful.
Please suggest.
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 indicate some sort of local infection. Infection can be any of these like contact dermatitis, sweat dermatitis, balanitis, eczema, 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 make a proper diagnosis. Once a proper diagnosis is made, it will be easier for you to get treatment and you will also come to know about your condition. Maintain local hygiene of the penile area and wear comfortable inner garments too.
Follow up after three weeks.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
