Balanitis refers to mucosal inflammation of the glans caused by trauma, irritation or infection. Balanitis can be caused by many factors, such as local physical irritation (trauma, friction, contraceptive devices, detergents, urine, etc.), prepuce, phimosis, smegma irritation, various infections (bacteria, fungi, amoeba, trichomonas, etc.) and drug allergy.

The diagnosis of glansitis is mainly based on clinical manifestations, combined with pathological examination and laboratory examination. For example, if it is caused by Candida infection, direct microscopic examination and culture of the lesion site can find Candida; if it is caused by amoeba, smear examination of secretions can find amoeba; the pathological changes of plasmacytoid glansitis have diagnostic value. This disease should be distinguished from fixed drug eruption caused by drugs.

What should I do if I have small red bumps due to glans inflammation? Small red bumps due to glans inflammation can be treated by the following methods:

1. Symptom treatment

Keep the area clean and avoid all kinds of stimulation. Those with prepuce that is too long should undergo circumcision.

2. Local treatment

For those with erosive exudation or purulent secretions, apply wet compresses with 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For those with dryness and desquamation, apply corticosteroid ointment externally.

3. Etiology treatment

Those with clear etiology should be treated with corresponding drugs. For example, for candidal glansitis, topical nystatin cream, clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole cream, or oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, and ketoconazole can be used. For trichomonal glansitis, metronidazole, tinidazole, and trichostatin can be used. For amebic glansitis, emetine, metronidazole, and tinidazole are given. If the spouse suffers from candidal vaginitis or trichomonal vaginitis at the same time, they must be treated at the same time.
