Patient's question:
Please, I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend on the 1st of this month in the morning, and in the afternoon when I went to the bathroom, I noticed two small red spots on my glans that are neither painful nor itchy. It has been almost 20 days now, and the initial small red spot has disappeared, but several more have appeared on other parts of the glans. I have slightly excessive foreskin. What is this condition and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, small red spots on the glans are typical symptoms of balanitis. Balanitis refers to inflammation of the inner foreskin and glans penis. A lipoidal 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 balanitis.
