Hi Ajay,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The reason why there is swelling on the foreskin and itching around the penis is due to inflammation of the skin as a result of bacterial infection, probably due to poor personal hygiene.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin with hydrocortisone cream over the region.
3. Take Tablet.Levocetrizine once a day to overcome itching.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments to provide ventilation and avoiding friction in the region.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. Gradually, your symptoms should subside.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
