Patient's question:
Condition Description: There are some very small pimples at the tip of the glans.History of Treatment and Effect: Just discovered recently, no treatment yet.
Help Needed: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Your condition is likely to be balanitis, which is often caused by phimosis or excessive prepuce. Phimosis and excessive prepuce can lead to the accumulation of secretions within the prepuce, forming smegma. Bacteria, smegma, and urine irritation, or occasionally minor mechanical injuries, often cause the prepuce to become red and swollen, with yellowish discharge. When the prepuce is retracted, the entire glans also appears red and swollen—this is a typical case of acute balanoposthitis. It could also be caused by a bacterial infection.Recommendations:
If the condition is mild, you can regularly clean it with clean water or potassium permanganate solution for treatment. If it is more severe, you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis before treatment. It is best to consult a doctor for treatment.
