    Small red spots on the glans that are not painful or itchy may be caused by pearly rash, balanitis, genital warts, etc., and targeted treatment should be taken in time.

    1. Pearl rash

    If long-term friction causes pearl rash on the glans area, it may cause local small red spots, which will gradually recover if the friction is reduced.

    2. Glans inflammation

    If the glans area is infected by bacteria or fungi, causing inflammatory bleeding, it may cause small red spots on the glans area. You can cooperate with your doctor to apply erythromycin ointment, mometasone furoate cream, tacrolimus ointment, etc.

    3. Genital warts

    If the glans area is affected by genital warts caused by human papillomavirus infection, it may be accompanied by red spots. In the early stage, it is generally not accompanied by symptoms of itching and pain. It can be removed through laser surgery, such as carbon dioxide laser.

    In addition to the above reasons, there may also be allergic urticaria, eczema, etc., which require timely medical treatment.
