I'm noticing that my foreskin and glans have become red, and sometimes there's a bit of irritation on the foreskin, with a burning-like feeling. Right now, I'm using coconut oil during the day and Nizral cream at night. I'm wondering if I should consider getting circumcised to solve this issue, or if there's something else I could try first. Any advice?
