What is the reason for the red spots on the glans penis? Let us help you understand the real situation

Some men find some red spots on the glans. There are many reasons behind this. This may be a symptom of balanitis, it may be caused by bacterial infection, or it may be caused by friction between the glans and underwear, so the situation is more complicated.

1. You may have glansitis. If you have a long foreskin and do not turn it back when washing, the possibility is even greater. Also, if the person you have sexual contact with has candidal vaginitis, you may also be infected.

Guidance:

Hello, for a specific diagnosis, I think you still need to go to the hospital and be directly observed by a doctor. If it is fungal glansitis, local medication is needed for treatment. When cleaning the penis, you need to turn up the foreskin for cleaning. You can use clean water or ketoconazole lotion. Generally, it can be cured quickly after treatment. I hope my answer can help you.

2. The most typical symptoms of glansitis are erythema, redness of the skin, swelling, itching, and small blisters on the glans. Due to the differences in the manifestations of the lesions and the infecting bacteria, glansitis can be accurately diagnosed from the following five aspects.

1. Acute superficial balanitis: At the onset, there is local flushing, redness and swelling of the skin, and a burning and itching sensation in the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Annular ulcerated balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

3. Candida albicans balanitis and fungal balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

4. Trichomonas balanoposthitis: papules and erythema appear on the glans, gradually expanding with clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

3. Your condition is likely to be glansitis, and the causes include local trauma, friction and other irritation, which may manifest as edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may become purulent and form an ulcer. In treatment, keep the local area clean and avoid irritants. Prevent secondary infection. The local area can be soaked with potassium permanganate solution and applied with anti-inflammatory ointment. Or anti-infection treatment, for different pathogens, use antifungal, anti-trichomoniasis and other drugs for treatment; if the infection is obvious, fever and lymph node enlargement occur, antibiotics can be applied systemically; if it is caused by allergic factors, corticosteroid hormone preparations can be applied externally. Therefore, once you find any abnormal behavior in the glans penis, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. Once it is confirmed to be balanitis, you should receive active treatment.
