Hello,
The symptoms you described—recurring inflammation on the glans, pus formation, pain, and difficulty retracting the foreskin—indicate Balanoposthitis with a likely secondary infection.
Key Points to Consider:
Physical Examination is Crucial: Because there is active pus and skin tightening (inability to retract), starting random over-the-counter creams without an in-person physical examination can worsen the inflammation or cause scarring.
Blood Sugar Screening: Recurrent fungal or bacterial infections in this area are very frequently linked to elevated blood glucose levels. Checking your fasting and post-prandial blood sugar (or HbA1c) is strongly advised.
Foreskin Care: Do not forcefully pull back the foreskin if it is tight or painful, as this can cause tears or swelling (paraphimosis).
Immediate Self-Care Steps:
Gently cleanse the outer area with plain lukewarm water only; strictly avoid harsh soaps, perfumed body washes, or chemical lotions.
Gently pat dry with a clean towel; keep the region dry and well-ventilated.
Wear loose-fitting, breathable cotton undergarments.
Recommended Action:
Please visit a nearby General Physician, Dermatologist, or Urologist promptly for a physical check-up, culture/swab if needed, and targeted prescription medication.
Take care,
