What Are the Red Dots on the Glans?
Small red dots on the glans penis may be caused by conditions such as balanitis, allergic eczema, genital herpes, etc. Different treatment methods should be selected based on different causes.
Balanitis: Balanitis is caused by trauma or severe local irritation, usually manifesting as local skin swelling, redness, ulcers, erosion, pain, and other symptoms. In this case, medications such as cephalosporin granules, roxithromycin granules, and amoxicillin clavulanate potassium tablets should be taken.
Allergic Eczema: Allergic eczema is a common skin disease, often caused by chronic diseases, endocrine disorders, poor hygiene habits, and exposure to allergic daily necessities. It can lead to skin lesions such as local red dots, red patches, papules, and psoriasis-like changes. At this time, calamine lotion, triamcinolone acetonide and econazole nitrate cream, and salicylic acid ointment can be applied under the guidance of a doctor.
Genital Herpes: Genital herpes is usually caused by herpes simplex virus infection and is contagious, spreading through sexual contact and mother-to-child transmission. It may present with symptoms such as local skin pain, burning sensation, blisters, and erosion.

In addition to the above common causes, small red dots on the glans penis may also be caused by diseases such as condyloma acuminatum. After falling ill, one should promptly visit the hospital, identify the cause, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
