3. Insect or spider bite can cause the penis to swell.
When an insect or spider bite, most people will scratch the area to get relief. The more you scratch the area, it will become red and inflamed. After a while pain will occur. Apply pressure to the penis for five to 30 minutes. Use a saline swab when you do this. Icing the penis will help with the swelling.
It’ll be easier to pull the foreskin back into place with these treatments. It is best if a doctor completes these treatments on you. You can also let the penis get air. This can only be done if you’re at home. On the other hand, you may want to stop wearing boxers or briefs until the swelling goes down.
Boxers and briefs can cause friction and make your penis itchier. No one will know that you’re not wearing boxers or briefs.
