Question : I noticed that the tip of my penis is slightly swollen and have some kind of irritation. But as of now there is problem while I urinate. Is there some ointment/cream that I can apply?
Brief Answer:
Balanitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I suppose you are talking about balanitis. Though the causes are varied for balanitis including trauma, infection, friction. I would suggest to apply a cream which has all these generic drugs in it, E.G CBN brand or anything similar.
Beclomethasone dipropionate 0.025% w/w, clotrimazole 1% w/w, neomycin 0.1% w/w.
Wash the area with clean, cool water with soap. Apply this cream thinly twice a day for a period of 15 days or till you see normal skin.
If this does not get better you should see a Dermatologist for examination.
