Red glans with a ring-like appearance, resembling a small, broken ring. Is it balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation may be considered as balanoposthitis, which is often caused by infectious factors such as unprotected sexual contact, leading to infections from Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. Non-infectious factors are usually due to excessive foreskin, insufficient hygiene, and the accumulation of unclean substances between the foreskin and glans, known as smegma, which can irritate the local foreskin and mucosa, causing inflammation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination and timely treatment.
