Is this balanitis? How is it treated?

Patient's question:

Is this balanitis? How is it treated? What is the black spot on the head of the penis? Seeking answers, thank you. It has been like this since middle school, I think I was 16 years old now I am 23. What is that? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: There was none. Recently, it has started to feel a bit itchy and sometimes a little painful, then itchy again.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, balanitis refers to the inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. It can be caused by various pathogens, irritation from smegma, and other factors. It is divided into balanitis and balanoposthitis, with infectious and non-infectious types. Due to the difficulty in actual separation and recurrence, clinical diagnosis often refers to it as balanitis. I recommend you go to a national tertiary hospital. There, not only is the medical level of the doctors guaranteed, but the treatment equipment and technology are also the most advanced. Additionally, a personalized treatment plan will be formulated for you, as each person's condition is different.
