Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
It appears that you could be having inflammation of the skin underneath the foreskin, which might be slightly edematous and thus causing tightness during erection.
Kindly stop using Dettol handwash to cleanse the area.
It would be better if you use mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily to cleanse the area.
After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the affected area.
Also, take anti-inflammatory medication Tablet. Ibuprofen twice daily after food.
Kindly abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Also, make sure to use appropriate lubricant while indulging in sexual activities.
Gradually, your symptoms should subside and be back to normal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
