What causes age spots on the glans?

Age spots are a type of skin disease that easily appears on the face of middle-aged and elderly people. In addition, age spots often appear on people's hands and feet. It is very rare for men to have age spots on their glans, but some men will find spots on their glans that are similar to age spots on their face. At this time, you need to pay attention and find the cause based on your own situation. The common causes are as follows.

What are age spots on the glans?

Everyone wants to be beautiful and stay beautiful forever. However, the reality is not always as beautiful as people imagine. Some people start to get acne during puberty, and this is the anti-acne period. Everyone is an acne goddess and warrior in adolescence. Later, some people develop spots on their faces, and this is when they start the anti-spot plan. But the reality is also very cruel, because the process is very difficult. Take age spots for example, they also torture many people and make everyone's life very unhappy.

Age spots are mainly formed because some metabolic functions in the cells of the elderly are weakened, and some antioxidant vitamins are relatively insufficient. If too much fat is consumed, peroxides are easily formed in the body. Under the catalysis of iron and copper ions, peroxides can be converted into lipofuscin, which settles on the skin or organ surface to form age spots.

Age spots can occur anywhere on the body, but are most common on the face and back of the hands. They appear as flat dark brown spots of varying sizes. These spots increase in number and size as you age. It is generally believed that age spots are a precursor to aging, indicating that cells have entered the aging period. Age spots do not cause adverse reactions and usually do not require treatment.

However, if age spot-like conditions appear on the glans, it is just pigment accumulation and there is no need to be surprised. It is related to many factors, for example (the foreskin was long in the past and the person did not pay attention to cleaning the foreskin). No treatment is required for the time being. Pay attention to investigation. If there is obvious discomfort or rapid growth (especially the pigment surface color becomes darker), go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Note:

Therefore, we should pay attention to supplementing vitamin E on a daily basis. In addition to taking a certain amount of vitamin E as prescribed by the doctor, the elderly should also eat more foods rich in vitamin E. Vegetable oil is the best food source of vitamin E.
