    Itchy glans penis may be caused by factors such as relatively long foreskin, balanitis, eczema, etc.

    1. The foreskin is relatively long

    If the foreskin is relatively long, it may cause a lot of dirt and bacteria to breed in the folds, causing itching. It can be treated with circumcision surgery.

    2. Balanitis

    Balanitis is caused by bacterial infection and may also cause local itching and pain. It can be treated with oral medications such as cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin capsules, and roxithromycin capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Eczema

    Allergic eczema may occur after exposure to allergen stimulation, which may also cause many small red bumps to appear on the skin, accompanied by itching symptoms. It can be treated with oral administration of cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above reasons, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by the frequent use of bacteriostatic agents such as alcohol.
