I have small pimples on my glans, and sometimes it itches a bit. Please tell me what this is.

Patient's question:

Penis head has acne, sometimes a bit itchy

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your symptoms, it should be acute superficial balanitis. Generally, it is caused by excessive foreskin, where the inner lining's secretions cannot be cleared promptly, allowing pathogens to grow and reproduce, leading to local inflammation and symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor.
