uncomfortable head / foreskin

hi all

For roughly 3 weeks I have had a mild discomfort where is feels as if my foreskin is not sitting correctly and is causing me to be uncomfortable. I have the constant urge to re adjust and move it which provides relief for only a matter of seconds.

I also find that I am noticing my foreskin rubbing against my underwear which is irritating me. And the top section of my foreskin near the head is slightly red and looks mildly irritated

I’m not really sure if this is all in my head and I am just noticing the feeling or if I have something going wrong, it is strange as this all changed as mentioned previously around 3 weeks ago.

any help would be greatly appreciated

put your mind at rest and book a doctor appointment, probably nothing to worry about or small infection that needs antibiotics or cream etc

redness, pain, swelling could be a yeast infection. Using a 1% Clotrimazole cream every 4 hours for a few days then 3 more days applying 3 times per day. You apply to the entire penis. You can run about 3-4 inches of water in tub then shake some baking soda in until cloudy and then sit in there for 5 min or more and rinse. That can help with symptoms. Otherwise you might consider heading into the doctor to be assessed and/or tested for STI if there's a chance of one
