Hello,

It is likely to be some infection (Balanoposthitis). Usually it does NOT need surgery. Avoid sex or use condom until it heals.

Do penile bath. Take a cup of lukewarm water and add BETADINE 10% lotion 2 tsf and MAGNESIUM SULPHATE powder 2 tsf to it and dip your penis for 5 minutes and then dry it and apply antibiotic ointment.

Do it twice a day for 10 days. If still it persists, please see doctor. maintain hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Sujoy Dasgupta
