1. Causes of frenulum pimples

1. Simple manifestations or non-infectious factors: In addition to physiological phimosis, prepuce is too long, after sexual maturity, smegma stimulation or a few mechanical injury factors may cause redness, swelling and burning inflammatory changes of the glans penis.

2. Infectious or contagious diseases, except for balanitis caused by infectious factors, that is, balanitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the main factor, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the cause of the disease in time.

2. What is balanitis?

Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma when the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is phimosis, which irritates the foreskin and glans penis and causes balanitis. Balanitis manifests as edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy to form ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

3. Treatment of balanitis

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.

4. Prevention of balanitis

Wash the foreskin and glans penis frequently, and keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry. You should pay attention to developing good hygiene habits. Circumcision is a good preventive measure for those with excessive foreskin or phimosis (foreskin cannot be turned over). If the disease is found, turn over the foreskin at the affected area, soak and clean it with potassium permanganate solution, and use antibiotics appropriately. Most cases will be cured within a few days. If the disease is more serious, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
