I have not had sex recently, my last partner got tested and tested negative on everything.
i often wash the inside of my foreskin and glans with Old Spice shower gel as part of my routine morning and night (twice a day) so it's not a case of neglecting cleanliness. I worked with household products also on the day of the symptoms.
the only thing that is swollen is the prepuce and not the glans.
The only thing that would be out of the ordinary is that the day before the symptoms I masturbated before getting in the shower and that some semen went under the skin of my foreskin (which rarely happens) but I went to wash afterwards.
i saw on the internet that it could be a case of postphitis? But I don't have the symptoms.
I went at the end of the day to get an anti fungal cream 1% clotrimazole external that I applied on the outer skin of the inflammation.

I'm wondering if there is an effective anti-fungal treatment that I can apply directly to the glans or inside the prepuce. And on the cleanliness side, is it necessary to apply soap every time I take a shower to clean the glans and the inside of the prepuce as I have always done or is water enough?

Hello Sir,
First of all, for hygiene, I strongly suggest to use only a soap without perfume, for example Dove in stick without perfume.
Otherwise, if the irritation has just appeared, I would only suggest applying a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno for the moment. If the swelling persists or gets worse, you should consult a doctor as a precaution.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
