Do balanitis go away on its own? - #60125
I am really worried about this redness on my penis glans. it has been there for a few days now, and honestly, it kinda freaks me out. I mean, is it normal for the glans to be red? Like, I don’t remember it ever looking like this before. I tried to ignore it at first, but it feels kinda itchy too, which is super annoying! I have read some stuff online and saw that it could be balanitis, which sounds scary. Do balanitis go away on its own? Or should I be doing something about it? Just last week, I noticed this irritation after a few long days, maybe I wasn’t cleaning it good enough or something? It’s hard to say. I mean, is it normal for a guy tip to be red sometimes? I never thought I'd be asking questions like this on a forum, but here I am! I really hope there's a simple cure for balanitis that can help me get rid of it permanently. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks!
