What causes acne on the foreskin?

Some problems in the private parts of life can also cause great trouble to us. Both men's diseases and gynecological diseases have become more and more common. Sometimes some diseases that appear are embarrassing for us and we don’t know how to treat them. Especially some male friends have acne on their foreskin. They are very scared and don’t know what disease causes it. Let’s take a look at the causes of acne on the foreskin.

Acne on the foreskin may be a possible cause of balanitis. Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner 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 the foreskin is phimosis, causing balanitis. Symptoms include edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

The causes of this disease can be divided into two categories: ① Simple or non-infectious factors: In addition to physiological phimosis, excessive foreskin, smegma stimulation after sexual maturity or a few mechanical damage factors, the glans penis becomes red, swollen, and has burning inflammatory changes; ② Infectious or contagious diseases, except for phimosis caused by infectious factors, all phimosis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms as the main factor, among which bacterial and fungal infections are the most common. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the cause of the disease in time to avoid delaying the condition and affecting health.

If you, a male friend, find acne on your foreskin, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. If you are afraid to go for examination because of your face, sometimes delaying the treatment will cause a lot of unnecessary harm. In addition, everyone should pay attention to the hygiene of private parts in daily life.
