What's the matter with the red spots on the edge of the glans?

Many male friends often find that there are many small red spots or erythema on the edge of their glans, and sometimes they feel itchy. If they scratch it, they will feel pain. So what is going on? Is it contagious? I'm sure everyone wants to know. Let's follow the editor to find out today. It is very likely caused by glansitis.

The main manifestation of glans inflammation is erythema on the glans, with small pustules or papules on the surface. It can also be manifested as local edema of the glans mucosa, mild desquamation at the edge, and papules and pustules may expand to the surrounding area to form glans erosion. It is recommended that you check and treat it in time.

The small red spots on the glans can be caused by infection or non-infection. Due to unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Gonorrhea can cause balanitis and the initial small red spots on the glans. Non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning. The dirty things between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause balanitis.

Candida albicans balanitis can cause erythema on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there is erosion and exudation during acute attacks. Acute superficial balanitis is characterized by local flushing at the beginning, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and a burning sensation, red spots and itching on the glans.

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 and foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions can be seen.

If male friends have glansitis, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time. During the treatment process, they should pay attention to rest, do not smoke or drink, do not eat irritating foods, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, do not have sexual intercourse, take medicine on time, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, supplement more vitamins, and strengthen their physical fitness.
