    Granulation on the glans penis may be caused by balanitis, pearly papules, candidal balanitis, etc. Patients need symptomatic treatment according to different causes.

    1. Balanitis

    Because the foreskin is too long and careless about cleaning, smegma accumulates, causing balanitis. It can be treated with erythromycin ointment, clotrimazole cream and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Pearly papules

    It is a benign disease that mostly occurs on the edge of the glans and is granular. The patient has no obvious symptoms, but it only affects the appearance. Just pay attention to local hygiene.

    3. Candida balanitis

    Due to the infection caused by the patient's unclean sexual contact, drugs such as ketoconazole cream and compound ketoconazole ointment can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above common causes, it may also be genital warts, etc. You need to seek medical examination to confirm the cause.
