General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to phimosis caused by recurrent fungal infections. For such case in my patients i would recommend using ointments containing anti fungal agents like miconazole , anti bacterial like gentamycin and corticosteroids like beclamethasone for local application. You should also stretch the foreskin back and forth daily a couple of times. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the penis and instead you can use saline or warm water. If there is no improvement then a consultation with a general surgeon or urologist should be done and in such case circumcision might be needed.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
