Patient's question:
Last night after having sex with my girlfriend, this morning when I went to bed, I noticed some small red spots on my foreskin, and it's a bit itchy. What's wrong with the red spots on my foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Red spots on the foreskin are a symptom of balanoposthitis, which can be caused by unclean sexual activity or phimosis, leading to infections from bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, fungi, or Candida albicans. It may also result from poor hygiene due to phimosis and accumulation of smegma. If this symptom reappears, it is important to seek immediate examination to avoid delaying treatment.There are several treatment methods for male genitourinary diseases, but the approach varies depending on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing any symptoms.
