Phimosis in males can easily lead to inflammation and cause paraphimosis. With excessive foreskin length, personal hygiene should be a primary concern—daily cleaning and frequent changing of underwear are necessary. If the foreskin is not regularly retracted and cleaned, a large amount of secretions may accumulate underneath. Bacterial or fungal infections can worsen the condition. It is recommended to maintain good local hygiene and prevent infection.
