What is the cause of ulcers on the glans and what should I do?

Ulcers on the glans may be caused by diseases such as balanitis, genital herpes, and genital warts.

If the foreskin or phimosis is relatively long, it may lead to balanitis, swelling and pain on the glans, and even local skin erosion. It can be treated with oral administration of cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin capsules, roxithromycin capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

After being infected by the genital herpes virus, it may cause many small blisters on the local skin accompanied by severe itching, and may also cause ulcers and erosion. It can be treated with oral antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as acyclovir tablets, valacyclovir tablets, ganciclovir tablets and other drugs.

Human papillomavirus infection may also cause many small warts to appear on the skin, accompanied by symptoms of skin erosion and ulcers. Treatment can be done by laser or freezing.
