I'm dealing with a condition called balanitis, and it's been going on for quite a while now. Could you suggest any creams or tablets that might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

Is circumcision really necessary to prevent infections and improve sexual health I'm worried about the procedure and how it might affect me
Circumcision can offer benefits in preventing certain infections and improving sexual health, but it's not a universal necessity. It's generally recommended for those in areas with high HIV prevalence and can lower the risk of penile cancer and urinary tract infections. However, there are also potential risks associated with the procedure, and the decision to circumcise should be made on a case-by-case basis after considering individual factors and consulting with a healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with a paper cut on my foreskin. I went to see a general physician and took some medication. It seemed to be getting better for a while, but now it feels like it's come back. Im really worried about why it's not healing properly. Could this be a sign of something more serious, and what should I do next?
it has to heal completely ,you shouldn't stretch till it heals, if it's minor injury it will heal without any scar formation , don't have sexual intercourse till it heals , only after complete heal involve in sexual activities.
