Hello, doctor. My male organ's foreskin has been swollen from the top for the past four to five days. It appears to be allergic and has small cuts. I've taken citrizin, but it hasn't helped. Could you please supply a medication or cream that can help?
Small cuts that cause swelling of the foreskin for four to five days are frequently caused by irritation, allergies, infections, or inflammation like balanitis. It might not be just an allergy because antihistamines like cetirizine haven't helped. Until it heals, keep the area dry and clean, wash it gently with plain water (don't use soap, antiseptics, or fragrant items), and refrain from having sex or masturbating. If a fungal infection is suspected, a simple antifungal like clotrimazole may be required, or a moderate antibiotic?antifungal cream, such as a combination prescribed by a physician, may be required. See a doctor or urologist straight away if you experience pain, burning when peeing, discharge, worsening swelling, or trouble retracting the foreskin. A thorough evaluation is crucial before beginning the appropriate cream.
