What is the cause of the itchy red spots on the glans?

The glans penis is an important male reproductive organ, and problems with the glans penis are also of concern to many people. Many men do not know what is going on when there are small red spots and itching on their glans penis. Generally, you can see if it is caused by unclean living habits.

1. This condition is common in patients with inflammatory infections. Poor hygiene, long foreskin, contact with unclean clothing, sexual partners with gynecological inflammation, condom allergy, etc. can all cause it. The treatment methods and medications vary according to different causes and conditions. It is recommended to go to the reproductive infection department for treatment after the corresponding examinations are confirmed, recover as soon as possible, and pay attention to your own hygiene.

2. This situation is considered to be glans inflammation, which is related to local moisture or prepuce being too long. Treatment is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and apply compound ketoconazole cream. Eat less spicy and irritating food as much as possible, quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash the external genitalia every day, and if the prepuce is too long, circumcision is required.

3. Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis and cause balanitis when the foreskin is too long or the phimosis occurs. The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and sterilization. Generally, both internal and external treatments are used. Erythromycin and tetracycline are the first choice for the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular effusive balanitis. Methionine is the first choice for the treatment of trichomonal balanitis. Trichostatin or itraconazole is often used for the treatment of balanitis caused by Candida albicans.
