What should I do if there are red spots on the glans penis and it is itchy?

Red spots and itching on the glans may be caused by balanitis or allergies. In addition, the possibility of genital herpes cannot be ruled out. Appropriate treatment methods need to be selected based on the cause of the disease.

If the foreskin is too long and personal hygiene is not done well, it will cause balanitis, causing the inflammation to irritate the glans for a long time. There may be red spots on the glans and itching, and edema, erythema, erosion and other phenomena of the glans skin mucosa. You can cooperate with the doctor to apply topical erythromycin ointment, betamethasone ointment, clotrimazole cream, etc. for treatment, which can effectively eliminate the inflammatory infection. After the inflammation subsides, circumcision can also be performed.

If you wear underwear improperly, allergens will enter the body and trigger allergic reactions. You may also experience red spots on the glans and itching, and symptoms such as erythema and erosion. You need to cooperate with your doctor in timely use of anti-allergic drugs, such as loratadine tablets, and stay away from allergens.

If your sexual life is unhygienic and genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus infection, you may also experience red spots and itching on the glans, as well as blisters, pain, ulcers, etc. You can cooperate with your doctor to apply topical acyclovir cream and take oral antifungal drugs, such as acyclovir tablets.
