Patient's question:
Hello! I have found patches on my glans, and the colors are different. There is also a white substance around the edge of the glans, which cannot be washed off. Is this condition caused by balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please tell me: What are the main causes of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision balanitis, annular purulent balanitis appears on the glans and foreskin, characterized by erythema that gradually expands in a ring shape, potentially forming superficial ulcers. Acute superficial balanitis initially presents with local redness, redness and swelling of the penis skin, accompanied by a sensation of heat and itching on the glans. Trichomoniasis balanitis causes papules and erythema on the glans, which gradually expand with clear margins. Tiny needle-sized vesicles are visible on the erythema, eventually forming erosion. Balanitis is a very common male reproductive infectious disease. If effectively controlled in the early stages of onset, it can completely prevent harm to the body. Therefore, all male friends must pay close attention to their perinatal health in daily life.
