Your symptoms are most likely caused by a yeast infection. Your doctor can do a simple swab test to tell you for sure. Most yeast infections can be  treated using an over-the-counter antifungal medication (miconizole is commonly used for treating yeast in women and works for men, too).   You can help prevent recurrences by washing carefully every day, letting  the area under the foreskin dry thoroughly after washing, and apply a penis vitamin cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to help boost the skin’s natural protective properties and reduce the risk of reinfection.

Hi guys.  I had this same problem.   It would randomly flare up every now and then.  Made worse by sex and masturbation, not washing regularly, or not keeping it dry.   When I moved to a moist climate it flared up bad.  I saw on a similar board that apple cider vinegar can treat it.  I did a diluted vinegar warm water rinse on the affected area one time and drank a couple tsps of apple cider vinegar in water 2x per day.  Pain/itchiness gone in 24 hours.  Redness and tightness gone in three days, I can't tell you how happy I am.  I may continue with the drinking vinegar as there are supposed to be other benefits.  I am between jobs and do not have health insurance so was very happy to have this kind of inexpensive home remedy.  Since this seemed to be a frequent problem for me I plan to get checked for diabetes when I do have insurance.

I have the same problem and afraid to see a doctor. I'm young and I masturbate I don't want my parents to know. But it's scary to see a doctor please help me without my parents knowing or seeing a doctor. Because I get afraid if the doctor knows you masturbate, by orgasm.

try buying tea tree oil. it's worked with me before and seemed to heal a bit quicker than any anti-fungal cream but i still used it. put on the anti fungal cream when the swelling has gone done and continue to use the tea tree oil as well.

i had the same problem, minus the itching. when i first felt it (im 14 btw) i knew something was wrong so i looked it up and it said it was a bacterial infection. i soaked my head and foreskin in a cup of warm water several times, changing the water every time. i then ran it under warm sink water. when i showered, i would cup water in my hands and pour water over the red, swollen area. went away in 3 weeks i was lucky:)

Ah look its a creme called nystatin in a red and white tube and it is indeed a YEAST infection. This takes awhile to heal to speed it up I ate garlic bread like 3 to 4 days in a row. Garlic fights infections in your body and will help you heal faster.:-|

My issue is the skin of my penis is flaky and I get an occasional itch but that's it.

Hi Guest:

It sounds as though you have more than the normal edema and swelling from vigorous masturbation.

I think you have a yeast infection.

Candidiasis is the name for a yeast infection.

You may try to treat it at home by:

1. Washing the area.
2. Drying the area thoroughly.
3. Applying athlete's foot cream containing clotrimazole.

Hi I'm fourteen and I live in the uk. I have recently discovered that my foreskin is really crusty and in some places where the crust has peeled off it is red and raw. I can't tell my parents and I can't see a doctor without telling my parents what do I do!?
