Foreskin Infection
For last few days a small part my penis foreskin had become reddish, swollen a bit and itching. Currently it looks like the upper thin layer of skin had peeled out resulting in exposure of the soft skin underneath. The swollen is not there any more but the skin is still sensitive and redness exists. It has become very sensitive and during the bath time it gives kind of burning sensation when i wash the area with warm water.
Please advice a quick way of relief.
Thanks.

Hi.... Gently wash the penis with warm water each day when you're having a shower or bath. If you have a foreskin, pull it back gently and wash underneath.
If you don't wash underneath the foreskin correctly, a cheesy-looking substance called smegma may begin to gather..... While regular personal hygiene is important, too much washing with soap and shower gels can cause soreness. Gently washing your penis once a day with warm water is sufficient to maintain good hygiene...
