Patient's question:
Over the past few days, I've noticed some red spots around my corona. Occasionally, they feel a bit itchy, but there's no discomfort if I don't scratch them. What should I do about the red spots on my corona?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, excessive foreskin can easily cause red spots on the corona, leading to balanoposthitis. Balanoposthitis is caused by excessive foreskin, as the inner lining's secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and multiply, resulting in local inflammation. Symptoms include red spots on the glans, flushing, blisters, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.
