I'm a bit concerned because an ant bit me on the skin of my penis head. There's no itching or anything like that, but it seems to have swelled a lot. Not sure what to do, can you help?

Prominent hila on an X-ray can indicate:
- Lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes)
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Cardiac enlargement
- Infection (e.g., tuberculosis)
- Tumor or cancer
It's not necessarily a structural fault

View allI've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?

I'm dealing with phimosis and really don't want to get surgery. Can you tell me if betamethasone cream is available at local pharmacies without a prescription? Also, which brand or type would be most effective? I'm really stressed about this and need some guidance to manage it.
Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.Yes, phimosis can often be managed without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good penile hygiene can be effective, especially in children. For adults, similar treatments can be tried, and in some cases, balloon dilation might be an option
