Yellowish and blueish glans

Penis inflammation is a disease that troubles many men. Since the site of the disease is relatively private, many male friends are unwilling to receive treatment. In fact, this is a wrong view. If you find that the glans is yellow or blue, you must ask professional medical staff to check and treat it, because this part is easy to breed bacteria and viruses. If it is not treated in time, it is easy to cause spread. Once it spreads, it will be more difficult to treat, so don't worry too much.

1. Acute superficial galactitis

It is usually caused by friction of 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. Annular erosive glans

The lesions of the glans and foreskin are ring-shaped, or the rings have cheese-like smegma, which can easily break down into superficial ulcers over time. If the ring-shaped features are lost, it is difficult to distinguish from superficial glansitis. This disease can exist alone or as a mucosal symptom of Reiter syndrome.

3. Cytoplasmic balanitis

It is more common in middle-aged people. It is a single or multiple chronic inflammations that last for a long time. The damage is plaque-like, with a smooth or scaly or moist surface, and the infiltration is more obvious. The boundary is clear and not easy to break. Small spots like paprika can be seen on the surface. The appearance is difficult to distinguish from the hyperplastic erythema of the glans penis. If similar damage occurs in the vulva, it is called plasmacytic vulvitis.

4. Mica and keratotic pseudoepitheliomatous glansitis

The glans penis is damaged, infiltrated, hypertrophic, hyperkeratotic, and has mica-like crusts. The affected area loses its normal elasticity and atrophies over time.

Check

1. Candidal glansitis (balanitis)

Candida can be found by microscopic examination or culture of samples taken from the diseased glans penis or foreskin.

2. Trichomonas balanoposthitis

Trichomonas may be found in the discharge.

Differential diagnosis

1. Chancroid

It is a hard ulcer with neat edges.

2. Gonorrhea

Balanitis may also occur, but the main manifestation is acute purulent urethritis.

3. Fixed erythematous drug eruption

It is often caused by oral sulfonamides or analgesics, occurs in the genitals, and is characterized by redness and swelling, frequent rupture, erosion, and recurrence.
