The glans is itchy with white mucus, what disease is it

Patient's question:

...Lotion and suppositories, soon I felt itchy on my glans and had white mucus on it. Two months ago, my partner went to the hospital for a check-up and it has already healed. I continued to use the lotion to clean my glans daily. Two months ago, I noticed many small red spots on my glans, and white bubbles in the coronal sulcus, about half the size of sesame seeds. It still persists...

Doctor's answer:

Suggestions: Based on your description, it may be balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is caused by excessive foreskin, where secretions cannot be cleared promptly due to the overhang, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, leading to local inflammation. Symptoms include: redness, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If it's mild, you can clean it frequently with plain water; if it's severe, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If you experience pain or itching, it may indicate balanoposthitis. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning.
