    Acne on the glans that is neither painful nor itchy is usually caused by genital warts. It may also be a symptom caused by balanitis. The cause can be clarified and the cause can be treated promptly.

    1. Genital warts

    Genital warts are usually caused by human papillomavirus infection, which is generally transmitted through sexual intercourse, and may also cause cauliflower-shaped or papillary growths to appear on the genitals. When small in size, they may cause local pimples, but will not cause pain and itching. If diagnosed with genital warts, interferon can usually be used for antiviral treatment, and laser or cryotherapy can also be used.

    2. Balanitis

    If the foreskin is too long and the glans is not cleaned properly, it is very likely to cause balanitis, and it may also lead to acne on the glans. In the early stage, there is generally no obvious pain and itching. As the disease progresses, it may be accompanied by pain and itching symptoms. Potassium permanganate solution can usually be used to clean it, and erythromycin ointment or fusidic acid ointment can be applied locally for treatment.

    You need to wear loose and comfortable clothes to avoid local friction as much as possible. You should also turn the foreskin over and clean it every day to avoid the accumulation of smegma. You should also avoid unclean sex to avoid causing sexually transmitted diseases.
