I am a diabetic and continously suffer from penile infection in which my foreskin cracks after intercourse.  What are the disadvantages and advantages of getting circumcision done?  What medical term do you refer to in this cracking of the foreskin in diabetics?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The history and symptoms are suggesting me that you may be having Balanoposthitis. This type of infection are more common in patients with reduced immunity like diabetes. I would suggest you to follow1. Proper hygiene and regular washing of prepuce is useful for the prevention of balanoposthitis.2. Topical antibiotics like metronidazole cream and antifungals clotrimazole cream.3. Circumcision is helpful in recurrent cases like you. Thank you.
