So what medicine should be used to treat erythema on the glans?

1. What is the cause of erythema on the glans penis?

2. Treatment of Penis Gland Inflammation

1. Local treatment

For patients with erosive exudation or purulent secretions, apply wet compresses with 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For patients with dryness and scaling, apply glucocorticoid ointment. For patients with Candida infection, clean the affected area with sodium bicarbonate solution and then apply imidazole ointment. For patients with Trichomonas infection, rinse with 0.5%-1% lactic acid solution or 0.5% acetic acid solution, and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Intermittent administration of medium-acting fluoride-free hormone ointment has a good effect on synovial glansitis.

2. Systemic medication

Systemic antibiotics should be selected according to the pathogen and drug sensitivity test. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, antibiotics sensitive to Gram-positive cocci can be used first. The treatment of trichomonal balanitis should start with metronidazole. Fluconazole or itraconazole is often used to treat balanitis caused by Candida albicans.

3.Surgery

Patients with recurrent balanitis due to excessive foreskin or phimosis should undergo circumcision after the inflammation subsides.

3. Causes of glansitis

It can be caused by many factors, such as local physical stimulation (trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), foreskin is too long, phimosis, smegma stimulation, various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoeba, trichomonas, etc.) and drug allergy.

4. Diagnosis of glansitis

It is mainly based on clinical manifestations, combined with etiological examination and pathological examination. For example, if it is caused by Candida infection, direct microscopic examination and culture of the lesion site can find Candida; if it is caused by amoeba, smear examination of secretions can find amoeba; pathological changes of plasmacytoid glansitis have diagnostic value. This disease should be distinguished from fixed drug eruption caused by drugs.
