What Is The Cause And Treatment For Broken Peis Foreskin?
Question: I am suffering with broken foreskin on genital organ from last 2-3 months and not getting healup. Can u pls provide reason and remedy.
Brief Answer:
Check diabetes, maintain hygiene, ointment.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to the forum.
Broken foreskin could be due to minor injury of the tight foreskin during sex or repeated attacks of infection of the foreskin / head of the penis.
The infection could be due to either bacterial or fungal infection, which is common in people having high blood sugars.
So, the next line of action would be to check blood sugar levels and get it under control, if found to be high.
Then, application of antibacterial ointments like MUPIROCIN twice daily for 3 weeks would do lot of good.
As a preventive measure, cleaning the area at bath with soap and water is essential.
If repeated episodes occur, then removal of the foreskin (circumcision) may be necessary.
Hope it is clear.
Kindly write back for doubts if any,
Sincerely

Brief Answer:
Local ointments enough usually.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Local ointment is the main treatment in such situations.
Oral antibiotics are usually not prescribed unless it is very advance.
So kindly get examined by a surgeon or a urologist to have a diagnosis and decide if oral antibiotics are really.
Usually antibiotics of the penicillin group are given for this condition.
Hope it is clear,
Get well soon,
