What causes dry skin on the glans?

Some male friends find that their glans is dry and they worry whether they have some diseases. In fact, this situation may be caused by the irritation of the glans by the lotion, which leads to normal peeling. However, if it has not been relieved after a period of time, then you should consider whether it is glansitis. We will introduce it in detail below, hoping to help you.

Of course, if you don't pay attention to hygiene and don't wash every day or your sexual partner has gynecological inflammation, it is very likely that you have mild balanoposthitis, and then the symptoms of chagasic disease will appear. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, keep clean, and turn up the foreskin. If there is no improvement, go to the hospital in time to see a doctor and get medication.

Balanitis is inflammation of the glans penis, which refers to inflammation of the glans penis caused by trauma, irritation or infection. Since glans inflammation often coexists with inflammation of the inner foreskin, glans inflammation and balanoposthitis are usually collectively referred to as balanoposthitis. The main clinical manifestations are local redness, swelling, erosion and ulcer formation. Balanitis can retrogradely infect the urinary system, causing cystitis, pyelonephritis, etc. In addition, if the inflammation is not cured for a long time, it can directly affect sexual life, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena. This disease is more common in summer and autumn, and mostly occurs in young and middle-aged men, especially those with prepuce or phimosis.

It is mainly based on clinical manifestations, combined with etiology 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.
