What Causes Painful Swelling And Red Stains On Foreskin?

Hello, i have problem with my foreskin swell and red stains, besides everything there is a loop (like a ring made of rope) skin growing on the edge of the foreskin which creates the pressure on my glans while it is enlarged during intercourse. it is painful. Sometimes this this ring is coming off the foreskin and then a new ring is growing again. I don t know what it could be. My family practitioner said it could come from my wife, but she has no symptoms. I practically don t hav3 sexual life since it happened.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Most probably you are suffering fro balanoposthitis(infection of foreskin and glans)

Explanation: If you were able to retract your foreskin previously and having difficulty now, then your infection of foreskin and glans with adhesion may be causing this. As you told that there are red stains on foreskin, this is a probability.
Usually after balanoposthitis foreskin becomes tight like a ring due to inflammation and scarring. So, If are able to retract foreskin then do it daily with oint clobetasol(3-4 days) and if you get relief then ok otherwise you have to go for circumcision.
Good luck
