Can you put Neosporin under your foreskin?
Antibiotic Ointment: Put an antibiotic ointment on the head of the penis and under the foreskin. No prescription is needed. Do this 2 times per day.
How do you treat a bacterial infection in the foreskin?
Treatments can include: Antifungal creams: If a yeast infection is causing balanitis, your provider will prescribe an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole to treat the infection. You will need to apply the cream to the glans (head of the penis) and foreskin as prescribed.
Why doesn’t my foreskin retract when I’m erect?
What happens if the foreskin does not fully retract? The foreskin has two anatomical elastic areas: one at the tip and the other over the glans. When the elastic ring at the tip does not stretch, the foreskin does not retract over the glans properly. This condition is called phimosis.
Why can’t I pull my foreskin back at 14?
It’s normal. During childhood, many boys can begin to pull back their foreskin as it separates gradually from the glans. But even at 10 years, many boys still can’t fully pull back their foreskins because the opening at the end is too tight. The foreskin might not fully separate from the glans until after puberty.
How do you know if your foreskin is infected?
3. Infection
- small white spots around your glans and foreskin.

Why is under my foreskin red and itchy?
Balanitis, yeast infections, and several different STIs and other infections can all cause the foreskin to itch, alongside other symptoms. The majority of these conditions respond well to treatment, but they do not usually get better on their own.
Why can’t I pull my foreskin back at 15?
It’s normal. During childhood, many boys can begin to pull back their foreskin as it separates gradually from the glans. But even at 10 years, many boys still can’t fully pull back their foreskins because the opening at the end is too tight. This is still normal.
How long can the average man stay erect?
A penile erection can normally last anywhere from a few minutes to about half an hour. On average, men have five erections a night while they’re sleeping, each lasting about 25 to 35 minutes (Youn, 2017).
Why doesn’t my foreskin go back when I’m erect?
Usually, the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis can be pulled back from the head (glans) of the penis. But in rare cases, the foreskin may become too tight and be unable to be retracted. This condition is called phimosis.
Is it normal for foreskin to not pull back?
Most uncircumcised baby boys have a foreskin that will not pull back (retract) because it’s still attached to the glans. This is perfectly normal for about the first 2 to 6 years. By around the age of 2, the foreskin should start to separate naturally from the glans.
Why is it itchy under my foreskin?
Can you pass balanitis to my girlfriend?
Balanitis is not a sexually transmitted disease. It results from an overgrowth of organisms (typically yeast or fungi) which are normally present on the skin of the glans. These yeast are present in both circumcised and uncircumcised men.
When to use miconazole or Neosporin for jock itch?
If it is a bacterial infection, Neosporin should help. If it is a fungal infection, Neosporin wont help, but the miconazole should. Your Dr obviously thinks it is likely a fungal infection or basically the same as jock itch which is common in the summer months when people are warm and sweaty. Fungus thrives in warm moist environments.
What to do if you have balanitis under the foreskin?
Steroid creams can relieve balanitis caused by skin disease. If it gets worse, there’s a chance you might need to be circumcised to treat it. Make the extra effort to keep your private parts clean. Gently pull back and clean under your foreskin with warm water. Use a mild soap. Dry the area completely.
Can a circumcised man get balanitis at any age?
You can get balanitis at any age. If you’re circumcised, you’re not likely to get it. But if you still have your foreskin, you need to take extra care of the head of your penis. If you don’t keep that area clean, you raise your chances of getting the infection.
