Hello-
Balanoposthitis is often confused with two similar conditions: phimosis and balanitis. Phimosis is a condition that makes it difficult to retract the foreskin. Balanitis is inflammation of the head of the penis. Balanoposthitis is inflammation of both the penis head and the foreskin. Its best to rediagnose it. You can start ayurveda treatment this time for recovery.

Phimosis is defined as tight foreskin that cannot be retracted to expose the glans penis. It is normal or physiological in young children but in elders it is pathological, caused due to infection, inflammation that leads to scarring and diabetes mellitus. To prevent it one should clean the smegma on glans penis by retracting the foreskin and cleaning the glans with a non irritant soap and then wash it with water. Never forget to retract the foreskin back to glans.

Hello-
balanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis (head of the penis); it is fairly common and affects approximately 3-11% of males during their lifetime. Posthitis is an inflammation of the foreskin (prepuce). Balanoposthitis involves both the glans and the foreskin and occurs in approximately 6% of uncircumcised males.

Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency in which the retracted foreskin of an uncircumcised male cannot be returned to its normal anatomic position. It is important for clinicians to recognize this condition promptly, as it can result in gangrene and amputation of the glans penis.
