Is it balanitis if there are small white spots on the glans?

Patient's question:

The glans used to be very smooth, but recently there are small white spots on it. It doesn't hurt but feels a bit itchy. What kind of inflammation is this? Are the white spots on the glans a sign of balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Consider it may be caused by balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate for wiping, and then apply erythromycin ointment for treatment. If there is phimosis, circumcision should be performed. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
