To treat bumps on the glans penis, it is important to identify the underlying cause and promptly administer targeted treatment. These bumps could be due to balanitis, pearly penile papules caused by excessively long foreskin, or chronic inflammatory irritation. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible and actively cooperate with doctors' treatment plans. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial, and avoiding scratching with hands if accompanied by itching symptoms. Here are some possible causes and treatments:
1. Various pathogens, including fungal infections, as well as irritation from smegma or factors affecting the glans penis or penis head, can cause balanitis. If Candida albicans is present, it can lead to bumps on the glans penis, often transmitted through sexual contact with an infected partner or unclean sexual practices.
2. When the foreskin or prepuce is excessively long and cannot be retracted, sebum can accumulate in the space between the inner surface of the foreskin and the penis head. Urine can also seep into this space, reacting with the sebum to form smegma. Chronic irritation from smegma can easily induce white bumps, along with feelings of foreign bodies or hard masses in the local area of the foreskin. If these bumps on the glans penis are not treated promptly, they can pose significant harm. During treatment, it is important to maintain local cleanliness and dryness, washing the area with warm water or saline solution every night and changing underwear frequently. Choose underwear made of cotton for better breathability. Additionally, avoid spicy foods to prevent weakening the immune system in the genital area.
