What disease is there with white bubbles under the glans?

Many male friends have found problems with their genitals and suspect that they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. They are too embarrassed to ask friends or go to the hospital for examination and treatment, so they ask questions online, hoping that knowledgeable netizens can help them answer. Today, a male friend asked for help online, saying that he found a small white bubble under his glans, and it was very painful when he touched it with his hand. He didn't know what caused it. He found it a long time ago, but he had never treated it. I want to ask what disease this is and how to treat it? Today I will tell you that this situation is likely to be balanitis.

This type of inflammation of balanitis can be infectious or non-infectious. The infectious one is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; the non-infectious factors are mostly due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, and the unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, namely smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

The symptoms of balanitis are usually very obvious. It is recommended to pay attention to observation in daily life. The symptoms of this disease are very similar to those of sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, it is important to distinguish them. Balanitis is easier to cure. Unlike sexually transmitted diseases, the following is a summary of the symptoms of different types of balanitis.

Different types and symptoms of balanitis 1: Acute superficial balanitis

It is often caused by local physical factors such as excessive or poorly turned foreskin, trauma, friction, condoms, soap and detergents that cause local irritation. Clinical manifestations include local edema, erythema, erosion, exudation and bleeding. In severe cases, blisters may occur and require drug treatment. Secondary bacterial infection will form an ulcer surface with purulent secretions.

Different types and symptoms of balanitis 2: Circumflex ulcerative balanitis

Clinically, it can exist independently or be a mucosal symptom of REITER disease. The clinical manifestations are erythema on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes annular or multi-annular, and later forms a superficial ulcer. In patients with poor foreskin reversal, secretions accumulate locally, which often leads to secondary infection and aggravates the symptoms. At this time, the annular characteristics are lost and it is difficult to distinguish it from superficial balanitis.

Different types and symptoms of balanitis 3: Candidal balanitis

It can be primary or secondary. The latter often occurs after diabetes, senile wasting diseases, antibiotic and hormone treatment, or when the spouse has candidal vaginitis. The clinical manifestations are erythema, smooth surface, slightly desquamated edges, and satellite-shaped papules and small pustules, which slowly expand to the surroundings and generally have clear boundaries.

Different types and symptoms of balanitis 4: Cytoplasmic balanitis

It is more common in middle-aged patients, with single or multiple localized dark red plaques that do not fade for a long time and heal slowly. The surface may be smooth, scaly, or moist, with obvious infiltration, generally clear edges, and no ulcers. Sometimes the appearance is very similar to the proliferative erythema of the glans penis. The pathological changes have diagnostic value, characterized by epidermal cell hyperplasia, flattened epidermal protuberances, and a large number of plasma cell infiltration in the dermis, dilated capillaries, and hemosiderin deposition.

Different types and symptoms of balanitis 5: Amebic balanitis

This disease is rare. The patient originally had balanitis, which caused the skin to lose its normal barrier function. On this basis, intestinal amoebiasis was transmitted and caused amoebic balanitis. The clinical manifestations are infiltration, erosion, ulceration, and obvious tissue necrosis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by finding amoeba in the secretion smear.

From the above introduction, we can see that balanoposthitis is also divided into different types, of course, the appearance of white bubbles is one of them. When we treat it, we must judge which type it belongs to according to different symptoms, because different types have different treatment methods. If you have such a phenomenon, first understand balanoposthitis, but you still need to pay attention to distinguish which type it is.
