Suggest Remedy For Raw Penis With Extreme Pain During Retracting The Foreskin

Ok so my penis is very raw under the foreskin and it is incredibly painful when I retract it back. It is also a little stiff or difficult to retract back as well. I went to the doctor because I thought it was a yeast infection but the cream is doing little to nothing to relive the pain and stiffness of the foreskin I need some help to figure out what I have and what I should do to fix it !! Please help !

Hi,

Do you have difficulty in retracting the foreskin?- this suggests phimosis (tight foreskin). This need treatment to prevent recurring tear there. Mild cases respond to steroid creams while severe varieties need circumcision. Avoid forceful retraction.

If no phimosis, just keep the area clean and dry, and apply antibiotic creams like Mupirocin 3 times daily for 5 days. Take ibuprofen 2-3 times a day after food for pain. If not getting down in 5 days, or feels like phimosis kindly discuss with a urologist / general surgeon. This may need oral antibiotics or intervention as the case may be.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
