[|Human|] hey doctor, i recently noticed that the tip of my foreskin has turned red and itchy, its very bothersome. I am not circumsized and when i retract the foreskin, it is easy to tell the tip of the foreskin has become more rigid and rough. What could this be and how do i treat it asap?
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. You have not mentioned your age in your query. Itching and redness of the penis that you have could be mostly due to infection of foreskin (Prostatitis). Many a time it is a presenting symptom to of type 2 diabetes. You need to get your blood sugar levels on empty stomach (fasting) and 2 hours after lunch done to confirm /rule out Diabetes. Take antibiotics like Doxycycline along with anti-inflammatory medicine Diclofenac twice daily and topical antibiotic ointment Newsprint for local application. If blood sugar tests turns out you to be Diabetic you will need to take antifungal medication like Fluconazole twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely. Chat Doctor.
