Do foreskin infections go away when you cut off foreskin?

Balanitis?: If you're having repeated episodes of balanitis (inflammation undert he foreskin, often but not always due to infection), being circumcised may help -- especially if you have a tight foreskin (phimosis). Or maybe just opening it up with minor surgery. Presumably you're seeting a urologist about this. If in doubt about his or her advice, get a second opinion with another urologist (in person).
