Do this

Balanitis is most often caused by a yeast infection. Get a good quality yeast treatment cream and apply it twice daily to all parts of your foreskin and glans. In 3-4 days, you should show improvement, but continue applications for at least 10 days to two weeks. Within 3-4 days, begin stretching the opening. If you can get two fingers inside, pull the opening apart gently and hold. Do this for five minutes each time, four times per day. Do not use soap to wash any parts inside your foreskin. Soap destroys the balance of necessary bacteria to keep the area healthy. If you have any questions, ask.

Hii jim,

I am a student 21 years old. I have an issue that my foreskin doesnt go back from the glans. When not erected, foreskin travels only 3\4th of the glans while on erection it travels only half the distance of the glans. Maybe this happens due to the thick roll of foreskin formed just behind the glans causing a restriction for the foreskin to go back.

I tried streching my foreskin, it helps the foreskin to travel behind the glans with some applied force when not erected but again it does not come back own its own. I have to apply some force to push the foreskin way back to the top.

Please give me some suggestions on how to cure that without any circumcision or going to doctor.

Does the yeast on the glans have any particular shape? I believe I have/had yeast Build up on the glans and I went to 2 urologist and a infectious disease doctor and they didn’t know what it is. I went to an alternative doctor and he called it a yeast buildup. He said Candida yeast can be a MOFO to get rid of and it starts in your belly.

You don't actually see the yeast, just the effect on your skin or mucosa. Yes, it can starts in your intestinal tract. Often, however, topical treatment is effective.
