I am doing fine. Hope you are doing fine too.
It would time for the lesion: you need to take the antibiotic for 2- 3 weeks for complete cure. I would also suggest addition of Tablet Azithromycin 1gm ( available as 500mg tablet , take 2 tablets once) once a week for 2 weeks( only 2 doses: total 4 tablets).
I would suggest you to send clinical photograph for further assessment.

Brief Answer:
Pull back prepuce and clean

Detailed Answer:
XXXXXXX

There is still persisting swelling of foreskin( prepuce). This could possibly be due to infection and collection under the prepuce.
While you are taking Seitz bath in tub, I would advise you to pull back the prepuce and clean the glans penis. Replace back the prepuce to its normal position after it.

Local application of Glycerine and Magnesium sulphate soaked gauge piece will also drastically reduce . I do understand your problem being in foreign country.
Following is procedure for preparation of Glycerine magnesium sulphate

Ingredients required: 100 ml Gylcerine , 20 grammes of Magnesium sulpahte (Epsom salt).

In a small utensil add 100 ml of glycerine, place it on low flame while it is warm add 20 grammes of Epsom salt. Stirring it continuosly. Warming is essential to make salt dissolve . Allow it to cool.

Either apply directly or soak a gauge piece in it and apply over the inflammed area. Continue applying antibiotic ointment as advised previously. Apply Gly Mag sulf thrice a day.
( store the remaining in a clean bottle).
It is very effective in reducing the oedema.

Any issue anytime, get back to me anytime. Will be there to assist you

Take Care Bro

Deepak

Brief Answer:
Available in local pharmacy

Detailed Answer:
Hi

glycerine and magnesium sulphate are available in any local pharmacy.
Dissolve 20 grammes of Magnesium sulphate in 100 ml of glycerine by continuously stirring it using a plastic or metal spoon. Apply this mixture over skin , in the same way as apply ointment. It can even be tried if there is no flame.
You can do it if its convenient. In clinical practise its one of the most effective way of reducing swelling

Follow the cleaning procedure by pulling back the skin the cleaning the inner surface.
Continue oral antibiotic and local antibiotic ointment.
If the lesion does not improve in next 1 week then consult local physician.
