Patient's question:
My glans penis has an itchy grooved area underneath. There's also a small wound on the glans, about the size of a grain of rice. But this wound doesn't hurt or itch.Why is this?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It might be infected with balanitis. Balanitis is more common in men with phimosis or excessive prepuce, mainly caused by secondary infection due to poor hygiene of the genital area. Initially, there may be local redness, redness and swelling of the penis, and a burning sensation or itching on the glans. When the prepuce is retracted, congestion and erosion can be seen, with exudate or even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers and creamy foul-smelling discharge may appear.It is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal Grade III-A hospital. Rest during the day. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and participate in more physical exercise. Wishing you good health!
