What causes small bumps on the foreskin?

Male friends should pay more attention. If there are small bumps on the foreskin, they should be treated in time to avoid the bumps from eroding and festering. The bumps on the foreskin may be related to several diseases, such as herpes, acute superficial balanoposthitis, ulcerative balanoposthitis, etc. The skin of the foreskin is relatively sensitive, so after the bumps appear, you should be able to find them quickly and treat them in time.

1. Acute superficial balanitis.

At the beginning, the skin of the penis is red and swollen, and the glans penis feels burning and itchy. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If there is immediate pain, the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the abdominal lymph nodes.

2. Annular erosive balanitis.

On the glans penis and foreskin, erythema can be seen, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form a superficial ulcer surface.

3. Candida albicans balanitis.

Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans penis. The surface is smooth and there are small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear. In acute attacks, there are erosions and exudates.

4. Trichomonal balanitis.

Papules and erythema appear on the glans penis, gradually expanding with clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, which later form erosive surfaces.
