Balanitis

Balanitis is a condition where the head of the penis becomes swollen and painful. While it is generally not a serious issue, it is essential to consult a GP to determine the underlying cause. Typically, with balanitis, the head of the penis appears swollen, itchy, and sore, often exhibiting a red colour, although this may not be as noticeable on brown or black skin. Adults also have the option to visit a sexual health clinic for evaluation, as these clinics specialise in treating genital concerns.
