    Burning sensation on the glans may be caused by balanitis, genital herpes, foreskin and other disease factors, and needs to be treated according to the specific cause.

    1. Balanitis

    A burning sensation on the glans may be a bacterial or fungal infection caused by carelessness in excessive hygiene, which can lead to symptoms such as local fever, redness, and swelling. You can use potassium permanganate solution, iodophor solution and other drugs for external disinfection as directed by your doctor.

    2. Genital herpes

    Sexual contact may lead to infection with the herpes zoster virus, causing genital herpes, resulting in a burning sensation on the glans. Recombinant human interferon azb gel, acyclovir cream and other drugs can be used externally under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Foreskin is too long

    Congenital dysplasia may cause the foreskin to be too long, resulting in smegma that cannot be removed and causing a local inflammatory reaction, which can be treated by circumcision.

    In addition, there may be lesions such as genital warts, which require going to the hospital for relevant examinations.
