1. Acute superficial glans inflammation is caused by local irritation from soap, detergents, etc. The main manifestations are local edematous erythema, erosive exudate, and in severe cases, blisters and large blisters may appear. Secondary bacterial infection forms an ulcer surface with purulent secretions.
