Red bumps, itching, redness and swelling on the glans penis

Balanitis needs to be treated with medication for the cause of the disease. The basic standard for treating balanitis in Western medicine is to reduce inflammation and eliminate bacteria, and treat both internally and externally. The red rash, itching and swelling on the glans are actually symptoms of balanitis. Let's see how to solve it below.

The head is red, itchy and swollen. This condition is considered to be glansitis. Glansitis is mainly caused by some bacteria, germs, viral infections or trauma or some physical stimulation factors in the glans penis, which leads to inflammation of the glans penis or prepuce.

Because balanitis and balanitis usually exist at the same time, they are generally referred to as balanitis. Balanitis is also closely related to one's environmental hygiene. Poor environmental hygiene cleaning standards and excessive cleaning can cause balanitis.

If you have had unclean sexual intercourse and subsequently developed redness, swelling, rash, and itching on the glans penis, you should also undergo STD examinations to rule out glansitis caused by STDs.

1. Symptomatic treatment: Keep the wound clean on a daily basis and avoid all kinds of irritation. Elderly people with foreskin should undergo circumcision.

2. Partial treatment: If the wound is erosive or has purulent secretions, apply medicine or cream to relieve the symptoms.

3. Treatment of the cause of the disease: If the cause of the disease is confirmed, the patient should be given corresponding medication. For example, for trichomonas balanoposthitis, nystatin cream, clotrimazole suppository, econazole, miconazole cream can be applied externally, or antifungal drugs can be taken orally. For candidal balanoposthitis, ornidazole, metronidazole, and trichostatin can be used. For amoebic balanoposthitis, emetine, ornidazole, and metronidazole are given. If a relative also suffers from trichomonas or candidal vaginitis, he or she should be treated at the same time.

When using medication to treat balanitis, if the inflammation has been developing for a period of time, it is best to cooperate with intravenous drip treatment to prevent the inflammation from further aggravating and causing erosion or purgation. It should be noted that even if the condition of glans inflammation improves, it does not mean that the inflammation will not recur. Therefore, it is recommended that patients can undergo negative circumcision surgery if necessary, which can effectively prevent glans inflammation.
