Is the itchy and burning glans a symptom of balanoposthitis?

Patient's question:

It's been about 8-9 days since the onset of symptoms. I feel a lot of heat on my glans, sometimes like it's being burned. The main symptom is still itching, and it was really uncomfortable when it first started.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the descriptions of itchy and burning glans and redness and swelling of the penis, I judge this to be balanitis, and specifically acute balanitis. If you have this condition, it's important to seek treatment promptly. Wishing you good health.
