Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed some red bumps on my glans, and it's a bit itchy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your symptoms, it should be acute superficial balanoposthitis. 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 with symptoms such as: redness, swelling, blisters, red spots, discharge, smegma, itching, and a bad odor. Solutions: If the condition is mild, it can be treated by frequently rinsing with clean water or using potassium permanganate solution.
