What causes black spots on the glans?

The glans penis is a part of the male body that needs to be protected more. Unlike women, it does not require such complicated protection measures, but it still needs special attention. If black spots grow on the glans penis, you should pay attention. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. It may be simple eczema, or a disease such as ringworm, it may be caused by chronic inflammation, or it may be an infection or non-infection. The specific reasons are as follows:

1. It may be eczema or lichen planus, which is related to infection and low immunity, or fungal skin disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, see the male department or urology department, check the local situation, do some necessary tests, and make targeted choices after diagnosis. Don't have sex for the time being.

2. It may be caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, which may be caused by sexual life and prepuce. Infection with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Gonorrhea or other bacteria can cause it; or because the prepuce is too long and not cleaned enough, the dirt between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation. It is recommended to go to the infectious department for a clear diagnosis to facilitate timely symptomatic treatment.

3. It can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious balanitis is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, and the unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

4. If the black spot gradually darkens and spreads, be careful of basal cell carcinoma. Because the penis is the most rubbed part of the human body, some people are born with moles on their penis, but moles are harmless in themselves. The only thing to worry about is that frequent friction may cause cancer. If it is confirmed that it is not a fungal infection, it is generally necessary to go to the hospital for a formal examination.
