Suggest Remedies For Tightness In Foreskin

Hi there,

I am on holiday currently and yesterday an issue arose. My foreskin around my penis has shrunk so I can't pull it down over the tip and is also very sore to touch with like a stinging pain. I know it's not STI's but I'm concerned and worried and am a bit afraid to go a see an anyone face to face.

Hello
Thanks for query.

You have developed what is called as Phimosis secondary to infection of foreskin(Posthatitis).

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

If problem persists even after taking treatment you will need to get circumcised which is a simple surgery done under local anaesthesia .
