    Blistering and itching of the glans may be caused by allergies, balanitis, genital herpes, etc., and require symptomatic treatment according to different causes.

    1. Allergy

    Exposure to harmful substances and improper diet may cause allergic reactions, leading to inflammatory lesions on the glans skin, blisters and itching. You can follow the doctor's advice for topical use of calamine lotion, mometasone furoate cream and other drugs.

    2. Balanitis

    Blistering and itching on the glans may be caused by excessive foreskin. Usually the foreskin cannot invert normally and stimulates the local formation of smegma. Local hygiene needs to be strengthened and excess foreskin removed through circumcision.

    3. Genital herpes

    Sexual transmission may cause herpes virus infection, leading to symptoms such as blistering and itching on the glans. Valacyclovir ointment, recombinant human interferon azb gel and other drugs can be used externally under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition, it may also be caused by genital warts, etc. You need to go to a professional hospital for examination and targeted treatment.
