There is a circle of millet grains on the glans

The glans of a man is a part of the penis, and its health needs urgent attention. However, sometimes excessive foreskin can cause the glans to be infected with bacteria, which can cause inflammation. When a circle of small grains grows on the glans, the patient should not be afraid or avoid seeing a doctor. These small grains may be condyloma acuminatum or pearly papules. However, since the symptoms of the two diseases are similar, it is difficult for the patient to quickly distinguish them. At this time, timely examination and symptomatic treatment will avoid damage to the penis.

What does it mean when there is a circle of millet grains growing on the glans?

1. Pearly papules of the penis, small pimples Features:

②Appearance: One or two rows of small bumps the size of millet grains or larger are arranged along the edge of the coronal groove.

③Number: multiple.

④Change: It will not grow bigger.

⑤Symptoms: No pain or itching, no subjective symptoms.

⑥Others: It is more common in people with foreskin that is too long, and the bumps are more obvious when the penis is erect.

2. Pomoid papulosis, small pimples Features:

① Location: Most are on the penis and mons pubis, and a few are on the genital mucosa.

③Number: There can be multiple ones, or just one or two.

④Change: It may become more and grow, but not very fast.

3. Condyloma acuminatum,

① Location: frenulum, coronal sulcus, foreskin, urethra, penis, around anus and scrotum.

②Appearance: In the early stage of the disease, there are light red or dirty red millet-sized tumors, which are soft in nature, with a slightly pointed top, and gradually grow larger or increase in number. They can develop into papillary or cystic shapes, with a slightly wide base or bands, and granules on the surface.

How to care for the male glans?

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene. When bathing, be sure to clean the glans and foreskin, and clean the smegma in time. If the foreskin is found to be too long or phimosis, circumcision should be performed to avoid other inflammation.

2. Avoid unclean sexual behavior and keep yourself clean to avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

3. When cleaning the genitals, use a mild detergent and warm water to clean the lower body. After cleaning, wipe off the moisture on the body surface with a soft dry towel to avoid bacterial growth in the genitals.

4. Avoid wearing tight pants. Tight pants will affect the heat dissipation of the genitals and may cause inflammation.

Correctly distinguish between condyloma acuminatum and male penile pearly papules:

1. The main symptoms of male penile pearly rash are: it is seen on the edge of the male glans penis, with skin color, uniform and neatly arranged millet-sized papules, without inflammatory reaction, and without any conscious discomfort. This is pearly rash. If the acetic acid white test is negative, that is, it does not turn white after applying 5% acetic acid solution. This situation is seen in men after puberty, which is a completely normal phenomenon and does not require treatment or panic. However, some places mistake this phenomenon for emphysema, and it is wrong to do laser treatment and take medicine.

2. The main manifestations of typical condyloma acuminatum: If warts or small warts are found in the external genitalia, perianal area, perineum and vagina, it should be suspected that it is condyloma acuminatum. If the warts are single or multiple small papules, nipple-shaped, cauliflower-shaped or cockscomb-shaped, with a rough surface, pedicles at the root or fused into pieces, it can basically be identified as condyloma acuminatum. Atypical skin lesions need to be combined with the acetic acid white test. That is, use gauze or cotton swabs dipped in 5% glacial acetic acid solution (i.e. edible white vinegar) to apply tightly to the affected area, and observe after 2 to 5 minutes: if it is condyloma acuminatum, the local area will turn white, which is a positive reaction; pseudo-warts are negative reactions, that is, no color change. If there is local inflammation, it may be a false positive reaction and pathological examination can be performed if necessary.
