Redness and swelling of the foreskin

Introduction The foreskin redness is generally caused by the excessive length of the foreskin, when the foreskin is too long, the secretion of the endothelial gland of the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the precipitate in the urine are synthesized into a cheese-like smeg-containing "skin scale". Due to long-term urine, chronic stimulation of smegma, can induce balanitis, and the glans forehead is swollen. Many patients have erythema or small papules on the glans of the penis, suspecting that they are suffering from sexually transmitted diseases. When I went to see a doctor, I realized that it was a foreskin balanitis (the penis head dermatitis). In fact, foreskin balanitis is a common disease.
