Medical Conditions - Itchy Foreskin

Foreskin refers to the skin sheath that covers the penis head. An itchy foreskin is due to balanitis, a condition in which the penis head is swollen, red, sore, and itchy. Other symptoms of balanitis include tight foreskin, pain during urination, bleeding, thick discharge, and an unpleasant smell. Treatment options include antifungal ointments, antibiotics, steroid creams, and surgery to remove the foreskin in extreme cases.
