I've been having some trouble with my foreskin lately. It seems swollen, and I'm unable to retract it over the head of my penis. This has got me pretty worried. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do? I'm feeling quite scared about this situation.
Please consult a urologist or dermatologist immediately, as a swollen foreskin that cannot retract can be a medical emergency, and prompt treatment can help alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.Self-Care Measures 1. Practice good hygiene: Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 2. Apply a topical cream: Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream or antibiotic ointment may help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. 3. Avoid irritants: Refrain from using harsh soaps, tight clothing, or engaging in activities that may exacerbate the condition.
