The small bumps on the glans are like millet grains

Many male friends often find some small bumps on their genitals, and sometimes they will continue to feel itchy. In most cases, this is caused by some pathological reasons, such as balanitis, or it may be caused by sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminatum. Therefore, male friends need to pay enough attention to it, and it is best to determine the cause of the rash on the male genitals based on the detailed circumstances.

What is the cause of the small bump on the glans?

This small bump is called a small rash in medicine. It is a small red papule that appears around the glans penis in the sulcus of the male genitals. Male genital pearly papule disease is mainly manifested by papules with a diameter of about 1-2mm and a smooth surface. They are arranged in parallel in the sulcus and exist for a long time without increasing or expanding. There are no active symptoms. This is a normal condition, not a sexually transmitted disease, and does not require treatment.

In addition, the small bumps on the foreskin are mostly considered to be symptoms of sexual organ infections such as balanitis and glansitis. Common diseases of glansitis are caused by unclean sexual life, long foreskin, microbial invasion, poor local environmental hygiene, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, especially in the local cleaning, regular life, light diet, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy food, and go to a reliable hospital clinic in time for genital sputum, bacterial culture and other corresponding examinations to confirm, and cooperate with the doctor's instructions according to the test results.

The small bumps on the prepuce are usually asymptomatic and are often found suddenly after bathing or unclean sexual intercourse. They are easily misdiagnosed as genital warts. The histopathological findings are the same as those of vulvar pseudowarts, with papillary protrusions in appearance, slight hypertrophy of mucosal epithelial cells, and vacuolation-like manifestations similar to normal mucosa at the upper and middle ends of the epithelial cells. The size and distribution of the vacuoles are consistent, the cytoplasm is not darkly stained, condensed, and the mucosa is wrapped with loose connective tissue. The capillaries in the connective tissue proliferate and dilate, and there is a small amount of reticulocyte infiltration.

The current diagnosis method for small bumps on prepuce is that if the skin lesions are very typical, they can be distinguished by naked eyes. For less typical ones, acetowhite test can be used, or skin lesions can be taken for pathological examination, and PCR test can also be taken for skin lesions. If the diagnosis is confirmed, laser, cold storage, local topical treatment drugs (such as podophyllotoxin) and surgical treatment should be used. In terms of treatment, if the patient has prepuce, circumcision surgery should be performed to avoid urine scale irritation. The skin lesions of male genital pearly papules do not need to be treated.

Therefore, when male friends notice small bumps on the glans of their penis, in addition to paying attention to hygiene, it is best to see a doctor immediately for examination and then receive reliable medication. At the same time, they should also choose loose and comfortable clothes to avoid friction caused by clothing on private parts.
