About 1 week ago, I noticed my penis foreskin swell. I didn't pay much attention to it because I assumed it will go away in a few days. However, things start to get worse! The foreskin now has some white stuff. Is like the skin is falling off. Also there's some white discharge. I cannot pull back my foreskin now, because it is too painful. I went to see doctor, he prescribed me with antibiotic, painkiller and anti-inflammation.

    Make sure you take the full course ( all the antibiotic particularly ) of tablets you have been given.  Just confirm the number of days you have been taking the tablets?

    Are you a sexually active person?  Do you have a regular partner?  Previously, were you able to pull back your foreskin to reveal the entire glans / head of your penis quite easily?

      Thanks for reply. I will finish the whole course of antibiotic. Nope. I am not a sexual active person. Previously I was able to pull back. No problem. But I read on internet that sometimes soap remain in the forehead can cause this. I remember I did a while wash my penis with soap. What do you think is my problem?

      I think it best until you have got rid or whatever infection you have before we consider what has happened with your foreskin.

      What age are you?  Have you previously had any issues with the foreskin, or anything going on with the entire penis, previously?

    This is definitely a bacterial infection and it looks like it's abcessing. The skin will fall off as needed because There a going to be dead skin cells with that big of an infection. Do not try to retract your foreskin until you get that swelling down.

    It will be painful but ice it about 10 minutes every 30 minutes to an hour. This will help the swelling. Sleep on your back and lay on your back anytime you are not busy or at work. Your genitals being above heart level reduces swelling. Take ibuprofen , it's a pain killer and a MSAID so it will help. Do not use it with other pain killers, especially with those that contain acetometaphen. Take it easy for a week. Try not to retract it and don't masterbatte or have sex
