My foreskin has been really tight lately, and I keep getting cuts and inflammation when I try to clean it. Theres also some redness. Ive been using Candid-B for the itching, but the cuts keep coming back. It's uncomfortable. What should I do?
It sounds like you're dealing with a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis, which can cause pain, cuts, and inflammation when you try to clean or retract it. The recurrent redness, cuts, and inflammation you're experiencing could also be due to infection, irritation,or inflammation of the foreskin. Wash the area gently with warm water. Avoid using harsh soaps. Avoid scrubbing the foreskin.If it's difficult to retract, do not force it.Seek a specialist ( urologist ) care.
