Basic information about glans penis eczema

The glans penis is also known as the "glans penis". It is developed from the front end of the corpus cavernosum of the urethra. The urethra opens here. It is the entrance and exit of urine and semen. The male genitals can be divided into the glans penis, the genital body, and the root of the genitals from front to back. For guys with long foreskin, the foreskin must be pulled off to see the glans penis. If the foreskin of an adult is too long and cannot be pulled off to show the glans penis, this is what is commonly called foreskin, and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for circumcision surgery. The area around the glans penis is a dirt-hiding area. The residual urine after urination will accumulate between the glans penis and the prepuce, allowing the substances in the urine to settle, bacteria and germs to multiply, and a lot of urine scale will be formed, which will be concentrated in the glans penis. Generally speaking, the urine scale should be cleaned once a day or two to prevent inflammation. Be sure to clean the glans penis and prepuce before sexual intercourse. This is the back of the glans penis that has been erected. The coronal sulcus, frenulum of the prepuce, and urethral opening can be seen. Please refer to the figure: the back of the erect glans penis, the urethral opening is clearer. The glans penis is very prone to infection. Such as fungal infection (candidiasis), condyloma acuminatum, etc. The glans penis needs some care.

Eczema infection of the glans penis

Clinical symptoms can be divided into primary and episodic. Primary refers to the first infection with the virus, which usually takes about 2-10 days from contact to onset, which is the critical period. The affected area first has a burning sensation, and soon 3-10 groups of red papules will appear on the basis of erythema, accompanied by itching. The papules will quickly turn into small blisters, and then into pustules after 3-5 days. After rupturing, large areas of erosion and ulcers will occur, with active pain, and finally scarring and healing. The entire history of the disease can last about 20 days.

Characteristics of glans penis eczema

1. Exudative: Eczema, to put it simply, will produce exudate, otherwise, it is difficult to be diagnosed as eczema without exudate. In addition, when eczema is in the onset period, the rash site may appear relatively dry, but in the acute onset process, exudate will still appear.

2. Itching: Its characteristic is persistent itching, which cannot be dealt with by distracting attention. When calming down, the itching will worsen, resulting in paroxysmal and persistent itching.

3. Transformation: Eczema recurs and reappears at random, shifting from one location to another, and the symptoms are not easy to eliminate. If eczema is not treated properly in the acute stage, it will turn into chronic eczema. If the treatment method is not correct at this time, it will cause its subacute onset.

4. Generalized: Eczema can occur anywhere on the body, including the glans penis. If it occurs on the glans penis, it is called glans penis eczema.

5. Polymorphism: The main manifestation of eczema is polymorphic rash, which can be divided into primary dermatosis and secondary rash. Primary dermatosis includes papules, small blisters, etc., and secondary rash includes erosion, exudation, etc. Patients usually have primary dermatosis and secondary rash at the same time.
