What are the factors that cause foreskin redness and swelling?

Patient's question:

First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What are the factors that cause redness and swelling of the foreskin?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it appears to be balanoposthitis. To confirm the cause, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up promptly. The main symptoms of balanoposthitis include redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, burning pain, relief during urination, and purulent discharge from the foreskin orifice. If the foreskin is moved, it can be seen that the inner foreskin and glans are congested, swollen, and in severe cases, may have superficial small ulcers or erosion, showing purulent discharge. Due to the limited information in your description, the specific cause cannot be determined at this time.
