1. Redness and swelling:明显的红斑 and swelling appear on the glans, with clear margins and a color that may be more vivid than normal skin.
2. Itching or burning sensation: Patients may experience itching, burning sensation, or pain in the glans area, especially during urination or sexual activity.
3. Discharge: White or yellow discharge may occur, sometimes accompanied by a foul odor, which may indicate an infection.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the condition from worsening or causing complications.
