    If there are many small red spots under the glans scalp that are not painful or itchy, it may be balanitis caused by excessive foreskin, which needs to be treated with medication or surgery.

    Many small red spots on the glans may be inflammation caused by the accumulation of smegma. Washing the local area with warm water can play a very good role. When balanitis is more serious, it can be treated with drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as clotrimazole cream, erythromycin ointment, etc. After the inflammation disappears, you need to go to a regular hospital for a urological examination. If the foreskin is too long, it can be removed and treated by circumcision, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of balanitis.

    After circumcision surgery, keep the area clean and hygienic, and wear loose cotton underwear to avoid local friction, which may affect the recovery of the wound.
