Patient's question:
I have some red spots on my glans, which are usually painless and itchy occasionally. The foreskin covers the glans slightly, and there are more red spots in the covered area. In summer, I feel itchy more often. I would like to ask how I should treat it and whether it is contagious.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are small red spots on your glans. Your condition is classified as balanitis, which is not a serious issue. You can apply an anti-inflammatory ointment, and it will improve within a few days.After puberty, the penis glans naturally produces secretions, so having small red spots on the glans is also a normal phenomenon. I believe most people are aware that balanitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary habits—stick to a light diet and avoid spicy foods. Additionally, you can schedule follow-up appointments when necessary.
