Patient's question:
Penile shaft developed red spots, not painful, not itchy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is advisable to consider conditions such as balanitis, Fordyce spots, etc. Clinically, Fordyce spots are believed to be related to phimosis and chronic inflammatory stimulation. They are considered a physiological variation and are neither tumors nor sexually transmitted diseases. Clinically, they appear as white, skin-toned, or pale red papules that do not merge, arranged in one or several rows along the posterior margin of the glans. This condition does not cause any adverse consequences and generally does not require treatment. However, during safe periods, it is recommended to undergo relevant examinations at a formal hospital, such as tests of external genital secretions, to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the examination results, follow medical advice for treatment or adjustment.
