There is a red spot on the glans penis, but it does not hurt or itch.

Red spots on the glans that are neither painful nor itchy are usually symptoms of balanitis, mainly symptom of balanitis. This condition is caused by excessive foreskin or insufficient cleaning of the penis, and bacteria will accumulate in the foreskin, which will cause balanitis. Balanitis will affect the erectile function of the penis and the urinary system. Patients need to receive timely treatment and pay attention to the hygienic treatment of the penis.

What is the reason for the red spots on the glans that are not painful or itchy?

The disease may remain unchanged for many years, or it may become cancerous. Balanitis is divided into balanitis and glansitis, which can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. Infectious balanitis is often caused by unclean sexual intercourse, infection with Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Gonorrhea or other bacteria; or due to excessive foreskin and insufficient cleaning, the unclean matter between the foreskin and the glans, that is, smegma, will accumulate, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membrane to cause inflammation.

Initially, glans inflammation causes local flushing, burning and itching. Infectious glans inflammation is usually caused by unclean sexual intercourse or by excessive foreskin, insufficient cleaning, and inflammation caused by the irritation of local mucosa by the unclean objects between the foreskin and the glans. The main clinical manifestations are dampness, redness, swelling, burning pain of the glans and foreskin. The symptoms worsen after friction and are accompanied by symptoms of urgency and pain when urinating. If the glans and foreskin are not treated in time, erosion and ulceration may occur, accompanied by milky white smelly purulent secretions. In severe cases, gangrene may occur and it may also cause prostatitis and infertility.

Red spots on the glans that are not painful or itchy are usually caused by glansitis. It may also be caused by wearing inappropriate underwear. Patients must find out the cause of their illness and then choose the best treatment method under the guidance of a doctor. Clean your private parts every night, preferably with some lotion, and pay more attention to personal hygiene during sexual intercourse.

What should I do if the glans penis has erythema and peeling?

For balanitis, you can use 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution to soak and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. If the foreskin or foreskin is swollen and cannot be turned over for soaking and drainage is not smooth, and the inflammation still cannot subside after general treatment, dorsal circumcision can be performed to facilitate drainage. Wait until the inflammation completely subsides before circumcision.

(1) Acute superficial glansitis: It is usually caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. It manifests as edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

(2) Erosive glansitis: The glans and prepuce inflammation and damage are ring-shaped, or the ring has cheese-like smegma, which is easy to break into superficial ulcers over time. If the ring-shaped characteristics are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

(3) Cellular glansitis: It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a chronic inflammation with single or multiple patches that last for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or scaly or moist surface and obvious infiltration. The boundary is clear and not easy to break. Small spots like chili powder can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

(4) Maternal and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis: The glans is damaged, infiltrated and hypertrophic, with hyperkeratosis and mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time. Histopathology shows hyperkeratosis, hypertrophy of the spinous layer, and elongated epidermal processes showing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.
