Accepted Answer

Infection: Fungal infection commonly can cause irritation & inflammation of the foreskin & glans penis (balanoposthitis). If you have a urethral discharge, that could also be draining & irritating.

Question 3

Candida? : It may be a Candida infection. It is usually more of a urology issue then a nephrology issue.

Question 4

i recently noticed a small itchy whitish-red patch (a single patch) on the inner foreskin of my penis. i have no other symptoms like inflammation of the glans/foreskin, etc.

what can the patch be and how should i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Foreskin: This could be an early manifestation of a condition called lichen sclerosus which is usually itchy. If this is what it is, it can progress and eventually result in phimosis from scarring unless it's treated. I recommend consulting a dermatologist or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

can elomet cream(mometasone furoate) used to deal with balanitis(foreskin inflammation)? also is there any serious side effect?

Accepted Answer

Tiny amounts!: Whenever you use a steroid cream on your skin, remember that overuse can thin your skin. This can be a problem in sensitive areas. Ask your doctor for specific information about your situation. LGromkoMD

Question 6

a girl did hand job for me and she has wounds / cuts that might not be noticeable for me. my foreskin is a bit reddish due to inflammation / excessive masturbation previously. i did use a lambskin condom during the handjob do i have a risk for hiv?

Accepted Answer

: Blood from her would have to enter your blood stream in order for HIV to be transmitted.  The condom should have prevented this. Did she touch other unprotected areas of your body?  If so get advice about testing from the public health department in your town.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Penis pain: You may have an infection or a foreskin that is especially tight.  Please start w/a visit to your primary care doctor.  He/she may refer you to a urologist if needed to take care of things.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

when soft my foreskin goes back n forth no bother.when erect it doesn't retract as easily and tends to stick behind the head until i go soft again???

Accepted Answer

That is normal...: What described about your foreskin could be just normal &amp; unique for you. A direct look at by experienced eyes like urologists', will surely answer your question. Nevertheless, without a look at, it may represent a long yet marginally tight opening of the foreskin. In life reality, it would be best to leave it alone with no bother as long as being comfortable despite the look as described.

Question 9
