Patient's question:
The red spots that initially appeared on the glans seem to be subcutaneous congestion, with no significant protrusion (almost invisible when the penis is not engorged). There is no pain or itching. The symptoms have persisted for a month, and applying Furinat to the glans has provided local relief. Currently, there are only a few small spots on the side (white, which I suspect are ulcers).

Doctor's answer:
Red spots appear on the glans, which may be caused by balanoposthitis due to excessive foreskin. The main reason is the accumulation of smegma, as the foreskin's sebaceous glands also secrete sebum. If it is not cleaned promptly, smegma can easily form, leading to inflammation and a foul odor. It is recommended that you avoid sexual activity for the time being, as it can easily lead to mutual infection.It is advised to pay attention to personal hygiene and rinse the foreskin with warm water daily. If you have an issue with excessive foreskin, it is recommended to undergo a circumcision procedure at a professional urological hospital. In terms of diet, maintain a light and spicy-free diet, ensure bowel regularity, and maintain a positive mindset. Additionally, consume more fruits and vegetables.
