What is the ulcer on the glans penis?

For men, prostate disease and penis problems can be said to be problems buried in their hearts. Many people still keep silent about them and are ashamed to express them. However, if the disease occurs, it must be treated as soon as possible. For example, the problem of glans ulcer is a glans foreskin disease with the highest incidence rate.

Candidal balanitis caused by fungal infection is often manifested by redness of the glans, erythema of the mucous membrane, local edema, smooth appearance, mild desquamation of the edges, and papules and small pustules that expand to the surrounding area to form glans erosion. Recurrent candidal balanitis can cause foreskin cracking, fibrosis, and sclerotic changes in the glans.
