Causes of small bubbles on the glans penis

I believe everyone knows the importance of the glans to male friends. Male friends must pay attention to protecting their glans in daily life. If any abnormal situation occurs, they must seek treatment in time. Some male friends may have symptoms of small bubbles growing on the glans. The appearance of this symptom brings great psychological pressure to male friends. So what exactly causes small bubbles on the glans?

(a) Genital herpes

Characteristics of genital blisters: Generally, herpes in the genital area is relatively simple, belonging to a viral skin disease, which is contagious, and its incubation period is about 2-7 days. This phenomenon generally occurs in the foreskin, glans or coronal sulcus of men, and occasionally in the urethra. After infection, the area where the genital blisters appear often has a burning, itching or abnormal feeling, followed by the local appearance of light red spots or papules, and on this basis, sesame to mung bean-sized clusters of tense blisters and erythema quickly appear. The fluid of the blisters starts out clear, and gradually becomes turbid or even purulent. The wall of the blisters is thin, and they erode after breaking, forming small pus-filled blisters with a burning sensation. Some form ulcers, which are painful and more obvious after touching.

The harm of genital herpes: In addition to damaging the reproductive organs, genital herpes may also lead to other complications such as male infertility. The incidence of malignant complications such as scrotal eczema and genital tumors will also increase by about 5-10 times than usual. Because genital herpes is prone to recurring, coupled with unbearable burning sensation and local pain, it will increase the psychological burden of patients, making them unwilling to interact with the opposite sex, leading to sexual dysfunction. In fact, if genital herpes is treated early in the early stage, it should be cured as soon as possible.

(ii) Balanitis

Characteristics of the formed glans blisters: In the early stage of phimosis, blisters, edema and congestion can be seen on the foreskin and glans, and the area around the urethra is red and has wounds and erosions. It can develop into a superficial ulcer with purulent secretions flowing out. The patient will feel itching or burning in the glans penis, followed by pain. After erosion, pus may flow out with a foul odor. In severe cases, there will also be fatigue, low fever, enlarged and tender inguinal lymph nodes. In addition, if it is candidal balanitis caused by fungal infection, it often manifests as erythema of the glans mucosa, local edema, smooth appearance, mild desquamation of the edges, and papules and small pustules that expand to the surrounding area to form glans erosion. Recurrent candidal balanitis can cause foreskin dryness and cracking, fibrosis and sclerosis of the glans.

The harm of balanitis: Balanitis can easily lead to inflammation of organs such as prostatitis, orchitis, epididymitis, and vas deferens. At the same time, it is easy to cause ascending infection of the urinary system, leading to urinary system diseases. If the acute disease is not properly treated, it may be life-threatening. Due to the damage caused by inflammation, premature ejaculation is easy to occur during sexual life, and impotence may occur in the long term. Due to the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors on the regulation of sperm and sexual response of the reproductive system, and the inflammatory secretions reduce the quality of semen and damage the ovarian cells, leading to male infertility.

3. Pearly Penile Papules

Characteristics of the formed glans blisters: Sometimes, blisters on the glans are clinically more common in pearly penile papulosis. The skin lesions are small white, skin-colored or light red papules and blisters on the glans, with a single diameter of 1-3mm, translucent, shaped like small pearls, and smooth surface. They can be in the shape of several needle-sized beads. They can also be in the shape of silk or sharp hairs. The rash does not fuse with each other, and is arranged in one or several rows along the coronal groove at the posterior edge of the glans, and can partially or completely surround the glans. It is more common in young men aged 20-50. There are no conscious symptoms.
