What causes ulcers on the penis and what should I do?

Ulcers on the penis may be caused by inflammation of the glans foreskin, or it may be caused by viral or fungal infection. It needs to be treated with anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs, and can also be improved with antifungal drugs to help the condition gradually ease.

Foreskin glans inflammation usually refers to the overlong foreskin that prevents the glans from being exposed, which may cause local dirt to be hidden, and may cause ulcers on the penis for a long time. It needs to be disinfected with iodophor to play a sterilizing and anti-inflammatory role, and it can also be applied with topical erythromycin ointment.

During unclean sex, if you are infected by the herpes zoster virus, it may cause pain, redness and swelling on the penis. In severe cases, it may cause ulcers. This needs to be improved by topical acyclovir cream. Oral ribavirin tablets can play an antiviral role and help relieve symptoms.

If there are early cases, underwear and socks are washed together, they may be infected by fungi. Athlete's foot is a disease caused by fungal infection, which will cause itching symptoms on the feet. Antifungal ointments need to be applied, such as clotrimazole cream, which can help improve clinical symptoms. Usually, when washing clothes, they need to be washed separately to reduce fungal infections on the penis.
