Reason For Foreskin Turning Red?
I an using Canestan cream to help on my penis and foreskin ,it help to pull back the foreskin,it was working well after using it for three days,the I use Baking soda to clean once only and I find that within two days after using the baking soda just once the foreskin got red to the tip and swollen a bit,i continue to use the Canestan cream for two days,I do see a small reduction in the red top foreskin,should I continue to use the Canestan cream or should I use some other cream.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
Penile and scrotal skin is very sensitive so, please do not use baking soda for cleaning. Warm water is enough for cleaning and canestan cream is an antifungal and you need not use it if you donot have fungal infection. The swelling would have been due to irritation of skin by baking soda. Please visit a doctor if not relieved. All the best.
