Hello,

Issues of the foreskin, like dryness, tightness, or inflammation of foreskin occurs due to infection, injury, or another health condition like balanitis, phimosis, posthitis, and balanoposthitis, etc. Take care of your hygiene and limit exposure to irritants like harsh body products, spermicide, latex condom, etc.

Cold compression is helpful. Applying topical ointment like Soframycin or antifungal ointment in case of fungal infection to the area affected will relieve symptoms. Get clinically examined by a urologist, tightness and discomfort due to phimosis and para-phimosis is treated with circumcision. If sexually active, you are advised to stay away from any type of sexual activity.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
