Hi. I am uncircumcised, and recently the skin on the head of my Penis started to swell like a balloon. The urethra opening stings a bit also. But I feel no pain when I urinate, or otherwise pain in general. What could this be, and what over-the-counter medicine can I buy?
Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you are having swelling of the foreskin. This swelling is an infection of the foreskin. This is called Atlantis. I would initially recommend good cleaning of the foreskin and trial of an antifungal cream. I recommend you seek medical attention for treatment if the swelling does not improve Hope this answers your medical question. Please contact us again with your health care concerns and questions
