What could be the reason for swelling, pain and reddishness in the middle part of penis?

Question

Hi,

There is some furuncle or insect bite in the middle part of my penis. I used Quadriderm, but it is not getting better. It is painful, not itchy, and a little reddish in the swollen part.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Any redness with pain should be a sign of inflammation. The reason for that has to be worked out. If you do not have any drug allergies, then a course of antibiotics like capsule Augmentin 625 mg two times a day for five days will do. In addition, you can have paracetamol for pain. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly. Kindly let me know about the following:

1. Your age.

2. Any associated problems like diabetes etc.

3. Sexual history.

4. Any other skin problems.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert with the details in case of further queries.

Thank you.
