Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have a skin infection on my penis. Can you please suggest some medicine?
Answered by Dr. Francisco Castro Montiel
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Hi, is the infection in the foreskin? (the skin that covers the glans) If that is the case, first, you should clean it with glycerin soap. Try not to force the skin because sometimes it is very tight and may hurt or even get stuck to the glans. After bathing, prepare a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in a cup of warm water and wash the skin with that for 2-3 minutes, twice a day. In 2-3 days, it should improve. If this kind of foreskin infection persists, you should get checked for diabetes.
Thanks
