What is the reason for the red spot on the glans penis that does not hurt or itch?

We know that sex is the most common thing between couples, but in order to have a healthy body, if one of the man or woman is sick during sex, it will lead to mutual infection. Men in particular must pay more attention to genital hygiene. Once red spots appear on the glans, they must be taken seriously. Although sometimes some symptoms will not bring us pain, let's understand why there are red spots on the glans that do not hurt or itch.

What is the reason for the red spot on the glans penis that does not hurt or itch?

Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner layer of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, causing balanitis.

For balanitis, you can use 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution to soak and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for soaking and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Wait until the inflammation completely subsides before circumcision.

Key points for the treatment of glansitis:

1. Remove irritants.

2. When erosion and exudation occur, apply wet compress with 3% boric acid solution or 0.05% berberine solution.

3. Anti-infection treatment: using antifungal, anti-trichomoniasis and other drugs for different pathogens.

4. For those caused by allergic factors, apply topical corticosteroid preparations.

(1) Acute superficial glansitis: It is usually caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. Symptoms include edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

(2) Erosive glansitis: The glans and prepuce inflammation and damage are ring-shaped, or the ring has cheese-like smegma, which is easy to break into superficial ulcers over time. If the ring-shaped characteristics are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

(3) Cellular glansitis: It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a chronic inflammation with single or multiple patches that last for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or scaly or moist surface and obvious infiltration. The boundary is clear and not easy to break. Small spots like chili powder can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

(4) Maternal and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: The glans is damaged, infiltrated and hypertrophic, with hyperkeratosis and mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time. Histopathology shows hyperkeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, and elongated epidermal processes showing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.

The above is an introduction to what happens when there are red spots on the glans that do not hurt or itch. If this happens, male friends must take it very seriously and go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment. At the same time, they must pay attention to the hygiene of their genitals. In addition, try not to have sex during the illness to avoid infecting their significant other.
