What causes itching and redness of the penis?
Patient: Hi just recently my bell end has been itchy and red its cracked and bleeding aswell but today I have noticed my foreskin has gone really tight when flacid and I cant pull it bback im 25 and have recently been using ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection Doctor: Hello,  You are having balanitis as per mentioned history. It is inflammation of glans penis foreskin.   You can be prescribed a topical steroid for your phimosis problem. Phimosis means you cannot able to retract foreskin back over glans.   If no improvement than minor surgery can be done to remove foreskin called circumcision. I suggest you consult Urologist for examination and discuss all these.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
