Hi doctor, I have problem with penis head and shaft. Meatus seems to be red and puffy and itches at times. Also the penis head seems to be very irritated. There is a ring puffed kind of swelling that goes around my shaft. It does not hurt but it came up around 3-5 weeks ago. Please help.
Hello. I read your query and understand your concerns. From the available pictures (attachments removed to protect patient identity) there is ample evidence of balanitis (inflammation of prepuce) and urethritis (inflammation of urethra). Since both condition can be caused by multiple bacteriological agents there is a need to get antibiotic treatment. The best thing is to get local swab and send it to microbiology for culture and sensitivity. In case that is not possible get empirical antibiotic treatment.
