Dark spots on genitals

For men, if there are black spots on the glans of the genitals, it should be taken seriously. This is related to not paying attention to personal hygiene. For example, foreskin that is too long often causes glansitis. In addition, if improper underwear is worn and causes repeated friction, it may cause local inflammation. At this time, ulcers are easily formed, leading to the appearance of black spots. In this case, corresponding treatment should be carried out in time.

Black spots on the genitals are caused by glansitis, which is mostly caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergents. It manifests as edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain. It can be treated with 3% boric acid solution or 0.05% berberine solution for wet compresses.

2. Causes of Penitis

(1) Non-infectious factors

Including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergents and other irritants, local manifestations may be edema erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer. The patient has obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, it is called acute superficial glansitis.

Candida is a conditionally pathogenic fungus, so candidal glansitis often occurs secondary to diabetes, senile wasting diseases, and after large-scale antibiotic or hormone treatment. It can also be primary, mostly transmitted from the spouse's candidal vaginitis. The glans and coronal sulcus may have light red erosions and thin-walled abscesses, but Candida is often not found locally, which may be caused by local allergic reaction caused by Candida.

(3) Amoeba infection

Most patients first have balanoposthitis, which causes the local loss of normal barrier function, and then is caused by intestinal amoebiasis. Local erosion, ulceration, and tissue necrosis are obvious, and amoeba can be found in direct smears of secretions.

Most cases are caused by the spouse suffering from vaginal trichomoniasis. The symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as erythematous papules and small blisters on the glans. The borders are clear and the scope gradually expands. Patients often feel itchy. Trichomonas can be found in the secretions. In addition, there are some cases of glansitis whose causes are unclear, but the foreskin is too long and the smegma irritation is often related to the occurrence of glansitis. Therefore, men should also wash their lower body frequently, keep the local area clean and avoid irritation.
