Foreskin inflammation, known as balanitis when it affects the glans penis and posthitis when it involves the foreskin, is characterized by redness, swelling, and irritation of the skin covering the head of the penis. This condition can be accompanied by discharge from beneath the foreskin, which may vary in color and consistency, depending on the underlying cause. Causes of foreskin inflammation and discharge include infections, such as bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Candida (yeast) infections, particularly common in individuals with diabetes or those taking antibiotics, can lead to a thick, white discharge and itching. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea or chlamydia can also cause inflammation and discharge. Poor hygiene, where smegma (a buildup of dead skin cells and oils) accumulates under the foreskin, can contribute to irritation and infection. Other causes may include allergic reactions to soaps, detergents, or latex, as well as skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Treatment for foreskin inflammation and discharge involves addressing the underlying cause. For infections, antifungal or antibiotic medications are prescribed based on the specific pathogen. Good hygiene practices, including regular washing and proper drying of the area, are essential for preventing and managing infections. Avoiding irritants and using mild, non-scented products can also help reduce symptoms. In cases of persistent or severe inflammation, or if accompanied by significant pain or difficulty retracting the foreskin, consulting a healthcare professional is important for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Early intervention can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
