General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The sores on penis and pain during retraction of the foreskin indicates balanitis issue following scabies infection. My guidelines at present

- Cleansing of local part with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Sitz bath with lukewarm water added epsom salt and lavender oil
- Try to pull the foreskin for cleansing purpose till the pain threshold permit the same
- Avoid masturbation and sexual activities (if involved)
- Plenty of liquids to prevent secondary bacterial infection
- Continue Permethrin local application
- Discuss the role and need of steroids in your case with your doc
- Control blood sugar
- Consume balanced nutritious diet to combat the condition more faster
- Avoid contacts with any other people to prevent contagious spread

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
