Dear David. Balanitis is swelling of the foreskin, or head of the penis. Balanitis affects roughly 1 in 20 males. Balanitis largely occurs in uncircumcised men. It can be painful, but it typically isn?t serious. It often can be relieved by using topical medication. But after this I suggest circumcision and proper hygiene to prevent balanitis. Take care.
