Patient's question:
How to distinguish between balanitis, pearly papules, genital warts, and red spots on the glans?Doctor's answer:
Acne conglobata and balanitis are both high-incidence diseases among modern men. Currently, the incidence of these two conditions is gradually increasing. Acne conglobata and balanitis are two different diseases, but both have a significant impact on patients' health. The causes of balanitis and acne conglobata are different. Balanitis is primarily caused by various factors, with the most common being infections such as Escherichia coli, mycoplasma, Candida, trichomoniasis, and Staphylococcus. Additionally, trauma, friction, and poor hygiene habits can also trigger balanitis. On the other hand, acne conglobata is generally believed to be related to excessive foreskin.
