Patient's question:
I have red small spots on my glans and a itchy sensation. What could be the cause?First follow-up question: Is it related to phimosis?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the redness of the glans you mentioned suggests it may be caused by balanitis due to phimosis. Generally, if hygiene is not paid attention to and cleaning is not done promptly, residual sweat, urine, and oils accumulate inside the foreskin and cannot be expelled in time, forming smelly white smegma. Small red spots on the glans can easily irritate the glans and coronal sulcus, which can easily trigger balanitis. If there are small red spots on the glans, first pay attention to local hygiene of the genital area. The penis must be thoroughly rinsed with clean water every day by retracting the foreskin. Additionally, in necessary cases, consider undergoing a circumcision procedure. Generally, this can effectively prevent infections and improve sexual quality after marriage. Wishing you good health.
