Suggest Remedy For Tight Prepuce, Itching And Reddish Glans Penis
Recently I have found that the prepuce is tightening and there is a dryness. I am unable to pull back the foreskin to wash the glans and smegma gathers and it itches. I have not had extra marital sex and even sex for the past 9 months. I am 61 years old and have clean habits. When I pull back the foreskin enduring the pain, I find that the glans penis are reddish. I had relief when i washed the area with just good turmeric dissolved in water. In India, the first thing that comes to the mind of the elder generation is turmeric. I really don t know what this is all about.

Symptoms suggestive of infection of glans penis i.e balanitis. It could be due to fungal or bacterial origin. i suggest you to consult doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. For pain, you can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. wash only with clean water.
