Erythematous skin of glans penis

The glans is an important part of the male reproductive system. Sometimes the glans may have erythematous peeling. This may be caused by glansitis. Such patients should not smoke or drink alcohol, and should not eat spicy food. They should also pay attention to personal hygiene, take a bath frequently, and change their underwear frequently. When you have a sexually transmitted disease, you will also have the symptom of erythematous peeling of the glans. Let's take a closer look below.

There are many reasons for the peeling and redness of the glans 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 (that is, you) 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 (as for which one is best, 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).

When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis are congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers may be seen, with a foul-smelling milky white purulent discharge.

Discharge. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by swelling and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

(2) Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Red spots can be seen on the glans and foreskin. They gradually expand and become ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

(3) Candida albicans balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

(4) Trichomonas phimosis: papules and erythema appear on the glans, which gradually expand and have clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is to reduce inflammation and sterilize. Generally, it treats both internal and external factors. For acute superficial balanitis and annular effusive balanitis.
