Herpes?: Get checked for genital herpes, especially if the swelling is painful or if there are open sores or blister-like lesions.

Urologist: I recommend consulting a urologist. Antifungal ointment would be effective if the glans penis was also inflamed indicating a yeast balanitis. A urologist would evaluate you to determine whether your foreskin is too tight, has nonfungal dermatitis, lichen sclerosus or has other pathology responsible for recurrent swelling of the foreskin.
