Penile prepuce and glans mild erythema, with possible white cheesy patches on the inner preputial surface and coronal sulcus of the glans. The glans may have pinpoint-sized pale red papules. If the is injured, symptoms such as frequent urination and dysuria may occur. Local symptoms may include burning sensation and itching.
