Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed some small red spots on the corona, which are not itchy or painful. I want to know what it means to have red spots on the corona?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis. It may be caused by infections such as Candida, trichomoniasis, chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonococcal bacteria, or other bacteria during sexual intercourse. Non-infectious factors are often due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, or the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and the glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, leading to inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination and timely treatment.
