Doctor's answer:

Red spots on the glans are a typical symptom of balanoposthitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. A lipoidal substance normally secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma under conditions of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanoposthitis. First, it is necessary to seek professional medical diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment. Balanoposthitis is generally treated both internally and externally. For acute superficial balanoposthitis and annular erosive balanoposthitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. For trichomoniasis-induced balanoposthitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment. For candidal balanoposthitis caused by Candida, griseofulvin or itraconazole is commonly used.
