don't try and diagnose yourself. you do not have to be sexually-active to get balanitis; children can get it. it is very common in uncircumcised men and boys. hydrocortisone only handles inflammation. it is the cause of the inflammation that needs to be specifically addressed. you could have a yeast infection (monilial balanitis) or even a bacterial secondary infection. this may self-resolve or you may need to see a medical provider so you can be properly examined diagnosed and treated.
is this balanitis? i'm not sexually active. i'm 18. i noticed that the top of my foreskin of my penis was red and swollen. i also saw a little bit of a whitish light beige liquid around the gland. i don't have any pain and i'm not itching. i feel no discomfort at all not even when i urinate. i took a shower cleaned my penis & foreskin & dried it well. i applied cortisone 10 cream. the next morning the outer part of the skin wasn't swollen. but it's still red & the inner part is still a little bit swollen. there's still the white liquid.
