What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Balanitis?

I have had a condition which I think is balanitis. I got some treatment and it seemed to get better. I go swimming in the sea a lot which is very salty. My penis got red again and I used kenocomb cream which seem to help. I stopped using this cream 4 days ago but after snorkeling today it is red again and had a couple of small blister types things on the skin which weap a little.

Hello,

Swelling and redness of the foreskin may indicate balanitis. Other symptoms may include:
The tightened foreskin, discharge, itchy genitals, pain in the genital area, painful skin on the penis. Swelling of your penis tip can put pressure on your urethra. It can cause painful urination.

Also, check for your soap allergy or moisturizing cream allergy. Diabetes, fungal infections are the other causes of balanitis. Topical steroids and antifungal agents may be useful. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


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

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
