    The red spots in the early stage of balanitis are caused by bacterial infection or allergic factors, or it may be due to the possibility that the foreskin is too long.

    1. Bacterial infection

    If underwear is not changed in time, or if the underwear is not cleaned properly after sex, more bacteria will breed in the scrotum, which can also cause balanitis, causing small red spots to appear on the glans. It is necessary to do local cleaning and care work. You can also choose potassium permanganate solution mixed with water to clean it to help relieve symptoms.

    2. Allergic factors

    If you wear underwear that is prone to allergies, the glans will not show allergy symptoms. Not only will there be small red spots, but it may also be accompanied by local itching. You can choose to clean with light salt water, or you can take cetirizine to achieve anti-allergic effects.

    3. Foreskin is too long

    Due to personal development or genetic factors, the foreskin may be too long and if it is not cleaned in time, more smegma and secretions will appear inside, and glans inflammation may occur. Usually, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to complete the circumcision surgery, which can help improve the symptoms of foreskin and reduce the occurrence of impotence and premature ejaculation in the later period.

    During the recovery period, local cleaning and care should be done, and prolonged sitting or strenuous exercise should be avoided.
