    Small red spots on the glans and scrotum may be caused by eczema, balanitis, fungal infection and other factors. Symptomatic treatment is required based on the original cause.

    1. Eczema

    If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the glans and scrotum and are irritated, small red spots may appear locally. If eczema occurs, it needs to be treated with topical calamine, zinc oxide ointment, budesonide ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Balanitis

    Balanitis usually refers to repeated inflammation and infection of the glans caused by excessive foreskin. It can also cause small red spots on the glans and scrotum. It needs to be treated in the hospital through circumcision, which can help the symptoms gradually improve.

    3. Fungal infection

    If there is a local fungal infection, it will also be accompanied by small red spots on the glans and scrotum. It needs to be treated with topical compound ketoconazole ointment, ketoconazole cream, clotrimazole ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition, there are small red spots on the glans and scrotum, which may also be caused by factors such as genital warts.
