Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Why Is My Penis Foreskin Swollen And Urethral Opening Stinging?
Hi. I am uncircumcised, and recently the skin on the head of my Penis started to swell like a balloon. The urethra opening stings a bit also. But I feel no pain when I urinate, or otherwise pain in general. What could this be, and what over-the-counter medicine can I buy?
Thanks for contacting HCM I am sorry to hear that you are having swelling of the foreskin. This swelling is an infection of the foreskin. This is called balanitis. I would initially recommend good cleaning of the foreskin and trial of an antifungal cream.I recommend you seek medical attention for treatment if the swelling does not improve
Hope this answers your medical question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
