Balanoposthitis, annular purulent balanoposthitis appears on the glans and foreskin, characterized by erythema that gradually expands in a ring shape, potentially forming superficial ulcers. Acute superficial balanoposthitis initially presents with local redness, redness and swelling of the penis skin, accompanied by a sensation of heat and itching in the glans. Trichomoniasis balanoposthitis causes papules and erythema on the glans, which gradually expand with clear margins. Tiny pinhead-sized vesicles are visible on the erythema, eventually forming erosions. Balanoposthitis is a very common male reproductive infectious disease. If effectively suppressed in the early stages of onset, it can completely prevent harm to the body.
