[dave_132]

i just had a circumsion 3 days ago beacuse i could no longer pull my foreskin back over my penis head, so i had not seen my penis head for some time. an now on the underside of my penis head is starting to go yellow and the whole head looks very sore should i be worried?

I am 16 i am sexually active and since i had unpretected sex round about 5 months ago my penis head has turned yellow. I went and got tested for std's and came back negative a have tried my hardest to clean it all the time and still nothing. But when i am erect my head is a purple colour should i be worried?

hi thanks for reply but i dont have a foreskin i had it removed 4 days ago an only now is the glans starting to turn a yellow colour. also do you no of any ways to stop the penis getting erections to stop from ripping the sitches?

Thanks Dave

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of balanoposthitis. It is inflammation of the foreskin and glans in uncircumcised males. Since an odor is coming, so a fungal infection needs to be ruled out. Use some topical antimicrobials Lotrimin.Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin and pat it dry. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
