What can take this away forever [/INST] Hello, Since you are suffering from inflammation of the glans for a year, you should get it treated. Visit ER, get it physically examined. It needs to be evaluated whether it is Atlantis or Mitosis.  You may need to do a swab test from the glans, Urinalysis, Blood sugar(R).  If the inflammation & discomfort is due to infection, it can be cured with oral antibiotics. Topical antibiotic creams to be applied in the area affected. It may occur due to STD, get all tests done to rule out STI.  You may need antibiotics & antivirals. Avoid sex & stay away from multiple partners; always perform safe sex.  If left untreated it may complicate. If Mitosis is detected you will have to get circumcision done to get a permanent cure. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.  </s>
