Patient's question:
Red spots on the glans. Wash the glans in the morning, and you will find white discharge on those red spots at night. It feels a bit itchy. There's nothing else. Can the doctor help me take a rough look at what this might be? First follow-up question: In the past two days, some things that look like blisters have appeared. They are milky white in color. Doctor...Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanoposthitis, which refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans. A lipid substance normally secreted in the foreskin cavity can accumulate as smegma in cases of phimosis or excessive foreskin, irritating the foreskin and glans to cause balanoposthitis.Suggestions: The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both topical and systemic treatment. 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 Candida-induced balanoposthitis, griseofulvin or itraconazole is commonly used.
