What to do if there are small red spots on the glans and foreskin

I believe that many male friends have encountered this situation! That is, small red spots always grow on the glans penis and foreskin for no apparent reason, and sometimes they cause itching, which makes us very uncomfortable, but we don’t know what is going on, and what should we do? If it is caused by a disease, it will only make the disease more serious, so what should we do if small red spots grow on the glans penis and foreskin?

Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis. Generally, it is caused by infection with bacteria, which may be caused by sexual contact. It cannot be ruled out that the bacteria are infected on the local external genitalia, penis, foreskin and glans. Washing liquid can wash away local secretions and have the effect of sterilization and disinfection, but it cannot wash away the red spots. The red spots must be treated and medicated in the hospital. At the same time, different treatment methods should be adopted according to different types of balanitis.

Medication

1. Local treatment Keep the area clean and avoid irritation. Soak or apply 1:5000 potassium permanganate locally. If the pus in the foreskin sac is not drained smoothly, a longitudinal incision of the back foreskin can be performed for drainage and cleaning. Circumcision can be performed after the infection is controlled.

2. Special treatment: Special treatment should be given to infections with clear etiology. For candidal balanitis, 1% to 3% clotrimazole or ketoconazole cream can be used topically, and for vaginal Trichomonas infection, metronidazole can be taken orally.

3. Systemic treatment: Patients with severe infection, suspected necrotizing spondylitis, fever and inguinal lymph node enlargement require systemic antibiotics.

After the brief introduction above, I believe everyone has already known what to do if red spots appear on the glans penis and foreskin! If this happens, the most important thing is to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and do not delay the best treatment time. I hope everyone can pay attention to personal hygiene and develop good habits in daily life!
