Redness, swelling, and itching of the skin on the penis

Redness, swelling and itching of the skin on the penis may be a symptom of glansitis or condyloma acuminatum. Men should understand the cause of redness, swelling and itching of the penis and then choose the correct treatment method. Redness, swelling and itching of the skin on the penis is generally glansitis. Glansitis can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, but attention should be paid to the hygiene of the penis and avoidance of sexual intercourse. Taking the drug continuously for one month can achieve the therapeutic effect.

There are several possible reasons for itching, redness and swelling on a man's penis:

1. Occasionally, it is caused by temporary lack of hygiene or internal heat. Sometimes, when washing the glans, the soap or lotion is not rinsed off, or the use of female-specific lotion can cause peeling or even redness and swelling. Just pay attention to hygiene, clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and supplement vitamins C and E.

2. If it occurs for a long time but is not painful or itchy, it may be because your partner has candidal vaginitis and he has candidal balanoposthitis. In short, it is a disease, but it is also a minor disease. As long as you don't delay it, pay attention to cleanliness and use anti-inflammatory and anti-plaque ointments appropriately (it is best to consult a professional doctor).

3. If the peeling lasts for a long time and is accompanied by pain, burning or stinging when urinating, go to the hospital immediately. It is likely to be a secondary symptom of urinary tract infection or prostate disease (it is not uncommon for young people to suffer from this nowadays).

Causes of Penile Itching:

1. Acute superficial glansitis: Non-infectious factors may cause penile itching, including local trauma, friction, contraceptives, soap and detergent stimulation, etc., which may manifest locally as edema erythema, erosion, exudation and even bleeding. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may purulently and form an ulcer surface. Patients with penile itching may experience obvious pain and difficulty in movement. Clinically, this condition is called acute superficial glansitis.

2. Acute epididymitis: Penile itching may be a symptom of acute epididymitis. When suffering from acute epididymitis, do not have sex. Because the epididymis is in an inflammatory state of congestion and edema, the penis is widely congested during sexual intercourse, which will aggravate the swelling of the epididymis and is not conducive to the disappearance of inflammation.

3. Scrotal eczema: The main symptoms are redness, swelling or exudate and desquamation of the scrotal skin. Due to severe itching, the scrotal skin may thicken and become lichenified after scratching. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly and effectively, it will cause serious consequences.

4. Pubic lice: Pubic lice have special hook-shaped claws that grab the skin in the pubic area and the sweat hair around the anus. Their bites and the stimulation of their saliva toxins can cause local skin itching, folliculitis, and eczema-like changes.

Therefore, experts point out that if you have symptoms of penis redness, swelling and itching, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive targeted treatment according to the specific cause. At the same time, it is recommended that the patient's sexual partner be diagnosed and treated at the same time to prevent cross infection and continuous complications. Experts suggest that since there are many diseases that can cause penis redness, swelling and itching, it is recommended to combine your own symptoms.
