For everyone, having a disease always brings us a lot of pain. Often, many male friends are careless and always do not pay attention to their own physiological hygiene and physical health, which always leads to the occurrence of some male diseases, especially the itchy glans with red spots. This disease is also a symptom experienced by many male friends. Such symptoms often make many men feel uneasy, so they must be dealt with in time. Let’s understand what is the itchy glans with red spots?

What is the reason for the itchy red spots on the glans?

Balanitis 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 when the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is phimosis, which irritates the foreskin and glans penis and causes balanitis. Balanitis caused by drug allergy is a delayed allergic reaction, which is quite common in clinical practice and usually occurs 24 to 72 hours after taking the drug.

Treatment of balanitis

1. Keep the area clean to prevent secondary infection. Apply iodine-fluoride solution or anti-inflammatory ointment locally. Allergic balanitis requires oral anti-allergic drugs and topical cortisone ointment.

2. For exudate erosion, you can use 3% boric acid water or 0.1% levulinol wet compress.

3. Corticosteroid cream can be used for patients in the non-infectious subacute stage.

4. For chronic stage or dry desquamation, tetracycline cortisone ointment can be used.

5. If the infection is obvious, with fever and lymphadenopathy, systemic antibiotics such as cefuroxime or ofloxacin can be applied.

6. Circumcision: If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for washing and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Circumcision can be performed after the inflammation completely subsides.

Prevention of balanitis

1. The method of preventing and caring for glansitis is to pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day, if the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time, and circumcision should be performed if necessary. It is necessary to clean the smegma in time.

2. If one of the spouses suffers from a sexual organ disease, they should suspend sexual activity and seek timely treatment. For example, if the spouse suffers from trichomonas or Candida albicans infection, both spouses should receive treatment at the same time.

3. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse and keep yourself clean. If ulcers or erosions are formed, change the dressing in time, twice a day, to avoid uncomfortable stimulation. For acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid hormone ointment to avoid causing more serious infection.

4. Clean the foreskin and glans penis regularly, keep the foreskin cavity clean and dry, and balanitis can be completely prevented. You should pay attention to developing good hygiene habits. Circumcision can have a good preventive effect on those with excessive foreskin or phimosis (foreskin cannot be turned over). If the disease is found, turn the foreskin over and soak it in potassium permanganate solution to clean it, and use antibiotics appropriately. Most cases will be cured within a few days. If it is more serious, effective treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

The above is an introduction to why the glans penis is itchy and has red spots. After understanding it, we know that there are many reasons for such symptoms, which are generally caused by glans inflammation. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, male friends must pay more attention to their own hygiene. In addition, do not have unclean sex life and have multiple sexual partners. This can easily cause cross infection, which is particularly harmful to health.
