Patient's question:
Several small bubbles have appeared on the glans, initially white, but they healed. Now they have returned, but they are the same color as the glans. It doesn't hurt or itch, and it's a bit scaly.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by unsafe sexual practices and phimosis. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to it; alternatively, due to phimosis and insufficient hygiene, the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing inflammation. It is recommended to visit an infectious disease department for a definitive diagnosis to facilitate timely and appropriate treatment.
