Wrinkled glans skin

Wrinkled glans skin may be caused by inflammation due to improper glans cleaning or unclean sexual intercourse, or it may be a symptom of glansitis. Therefore, when the glans skin is wrinkled, men should avoid excessive cleaning and frequent sexual intercourse. They can supplement more vitamin A, which is beneficial to skin growth. Itching, redness and swelling of the glans are generally caused by inflammation, and the inflammation requires the patient to take anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.

1. What causes wrinkles on the glans?

1.1. Wrinkling of the glans may be caused by glans inflammation. Wrinkling and redness of the glans is a common manifestation of glans inflammation. The glans is usually hidden deep in the protection of the foreskin, but this cannot prevent the invasion of bacteria and viruses. When the glans is inflamed, the glans will show wrinkles and redness.

1.2. The glans penis may become inflamed after using inappropriate cleaning agents or having unclean sexual intercourse. Wrinkles on the glans penis occur due to lack of water or vitamins, and have no effect on the body. Wrinkles on the glans penis may also occur if the penis becomes flaccid due to frequent sexual intercourse. You can improve these wrinkles on the glans penis by making changes based on your recent habits. Foreskin that is too long, unclean sexual intercourse and infection may be the reasons for the wrinkles and small red spots on the glans. Balanitis is also possible. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, regular life, and light diet. If you are not careful, it may lead to pathogenic bacterial infection, which may easily cause wrinkles and small red spots on the glans. Pay attention to local hygiene and cleanliness.

2. Types of male glansitis

Acute superficial glansitis: mostly caused by friction from underwear, trauma, or local irritation from soap or detergent. Symptoms include edema, erythema, exudation, erosion, secondary infection with purulent secretions, easy formation of ulcers, and spontaneous pain.

Annular erosive glans: 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 glans. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

Plasmocytic glansitis: Common in middle-aged people, it is a chronic inflammation of single or multiple lesions that lasts for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or flaky or moist surface, and obvious infiltration. The boundary is clear and not easy to break, and small spots like chili powder can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from proliferative erythema of the glans.

Mica-like 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.

3. Treatment of glansitis

3.1. For trichomoniasis, the glans penis and inner foreskin can be rinsed with 0.5% to 1% lactic acid solution, 0.5% acetic acid solution or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution.

3.2. For balanitis caused by bacterial infection, wash the affected area with 200 mL of 3% boric acid water or 0.1% revnol solution twice a day for 20 minutes each time.

3.3. Dandelion wash: Take 30g of dandelion, 30g of wild chrysanthemum, and 10g of alum, decoct them in water and use them to wash the affected area once a day, each time for about 20 minutes.

3.4. For candidal balanitis, the affected area can be cleaned with baking soda solution or imidazole ointments such as Daknin ointment and clotrimazole ointment can be applied externally.
