A member asked:
I had an infection on my penis that left the foreskin around the glands swollen. after i apply ointment, do i try to put the foreskin back over?

Do not force: Do not force the skin back. Wait for the infection to clear. You may clean under the foreskin by dipping the head in warm water. If the issue persists you may consider circumcision.
