What disease are the white spots on the glans?

Many teenagers or men sweat a lot from their genitals during puberty. It is summer and they are most susceptible to inflammatory infections. If they are not treated promptly, it is easy to cause white spots on the glans. The bumps will make people itchy and painful. In the following article, I will introduce what to do?

Young men often visit doctors because of a row or several pinpoint-sized bead-like papules on their glans. They are worried, some are worried about tumors, and some are afraid of STDs. In sexual medicine consultation letters, many inquire about this disease, and they describe it very specifically: the rash is the size of a millet grain, similar in color to the surrounding skin, and is not painful or itchy. Although it has no effect on urination and sexual life, it causes great psychological pressure.

In fact, this disease is neither a tumor nor a sexually transmitted disease. Medical experts have confirmed through pathological sections that its structure is normal connective tissue hyperplasia. In medicine, it is named pearly penile papulosis.

The cause of pearly penile papulosis is not yet clear, and the diagnosis mainly depends on the location and shape of the rash. There is no specific treatment for this disease, and it does not require treatment. The most important thing for people with this disease is to understand the disease and get rid of fear and worry. This disease has no effect on health and the physiological function of the penis.

2) White spots

White spots of different shapes may appear on the glans, some are completely white, some are whiter, painless and itchy, with a smooth surface and no other rashes. The surrounding pigment is often darker than normal skin color. There is no specific treatment for this disease, but it can often heal itself without treatment.

Since white spots on the glans penis are related to chronic irritation from smegma, and white spots may deteriorate, those with phimosis or prepuce that is too long and have white spots on the glans penis should undergo circumcision as soon as possible.

3) Proliferative erythema

Symptoms include single or multiple erythema on the glans penis, which may be round, annular or irregular in shape, with clear borders, slightly raised and hard, and shiny on the surface. Sometimes there may be erosion, crusting or papillary hyperplasia. The disease may remain unchanged for many years, or it may become cancerous.

The cause of erythema proliferatum is unknown, but it mainly occurs in people with prepuce that is too long, so it is believed to be related to the prepuce being too long and the smegma irritation. The author has performed circumcision on several patients with this disease, and the erythema disappeared spontaneously in several of them. Therefore, patients with this disease should have their prepuce removed routinely. There is no definite opinion on the treatment of erythema proliferatum. Some scholars advocate forcise the prepuce and close observation; some doctors advocate freezing or irradiating the lesion with X-rays.

In addition, this disease is also called erythematous hyperplasia or erythematous hypertrophy. Patients who find erythema on the glans penis should not avoid seeing a doctor, but should see a urologist in the hospital as soon as possible and undergo circumcision.
