Patient's question:
What disease is it when there are red spots on the head of the penis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be balanoposthitis, which can be caused by unsafe sexual practices and phimosis. Infections with Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria can all lead to this condition. Alternatively, it may be due to insufficient cleaning in cases of phimosis, where unclean substances, known as smegma, accumulate between the foreskin and the glans, irritating the local foreskin and mucous membranes and causing inflammation. It is recommended to consult a department of infectious diseases for a definitive diagnosis to enable timely and appropriate treatment.
