Itchy red spots on the penis

Itching and red spots on the male penis are common. Some men may have itching and red spots on the penis due to foreskin being too long, allergies, eczema, etc. In addition to these, there are other reasons for itching or red spots on the penis. Many people have itching and red spots on the penis and don’t know what’s going on. What’s going on with itching and red spots on the penis? Let’s take a look.

1. What causes itching and red spots on the penis?

Considering that you have phimosis, it is recommended that you have an andrology examination and receive symptomatic treatment after diagnosis.

2. What to do about glansitis?

1. Poor personal hygiene

If men just rinse the penis area casually when taking a bath and do not turn up the foreskin to wash it, a lot of smegma will accumulate in the foreskin cavity over time. The presence of this smegma provides good conditions for the growth of bacteria, which can easily cause men to develop glans inflammation.

2. Masturbation is too rough

If young men do not have wives or girlfriends, it is understandable that they satisfy their physical needs through masturbation. However, some men use too much force when masturbating and their movements are particularly rough, resulting in damage to the foreskin and glans. However, because they are mentally excited when masturbating, they do not know that they are injured, and bacteria can take the opportunity to invade through this small injury, causing glansitis.

3. Suffering from prepuce or phimosis

If a man has a prepuce that is too long or a phimosis, smegma will accumulate more easily and may be difficult to clean. This is also the reason why patients are often troubled by glansitis. It is recommended that men with a prepuce that is too long or a phimosis should undergo surgical treatment in time if they often suffer from glansitis.

4. Bacterial infection

Many bacteria can also cause glansitis in men, such as Trichomonas and fungi. Many men are infected with Trichomonas or fungi because their wives are infected with the disease through sexual intercourse. If erosion or abscesses are found on the glans, you must see a doctor in time.

5. Medication

If a man experiences itching or burning sensation on the glans penis while taking certain medications, it is possible that the medication has caused glansitis. The most common medications known to cause glansitis are tetracyclines.

6. Condoms

Sometimes the drugs used in some condoms may cause glans allergies and lead to glansitis. If symptoms of glans discomfort occur after use, other condoms should be used or other contraceptive methods should be adopted.

3. Notes

If glans inflammation recurs due to excessive foreskin, surgery should be performed immediately.
