Swelling of the foreskin or head of the penis is called balanitis Balanitis is a condition that largely occurs in uncircumcised men. Balanitis can be a painful condition, but it isn?t a serious one. It can usually be relieved using topical medication. The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection. The foreskin of the penis is an ideal place for bacteria to grow. Injuries on the tip of the penis or foreskin can also cause swelling. Irritation in the area can also cause balanitis. Treating Balanitis Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin. You are prescribed a medicated anti-itch cream. This cream works to stop the itching and inflammation. In case of an infection, you will be prescribed an antibiotic medication to help clear it. In some cases, this may be all that?s needed to stop the inflammation, swelling, itching, and discharge. Medicated creams containing powerful steroids may also be prescribed to reduce inflammation.
