    Granulation on the glans penis may be caused by pearly rash, balanitis, condyloma acuminata, etc., and requires symptomatic treatment according to different causes.

    1. Pearl rash

    Pearl rash on the glans may be caused by changes in physiological development. Long-term exposure to sexual intercourse and underwear friction can also cause pearl rash. It can be treated with mupirocin ointment, erythromycin ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    2. Balanitis

    Failure to pay attention to local hygiene and unclean sexual life may cause bacterial and fungal infections in the glans area, causing balanitis, which can be treated with topical mupirocin ointment, clotrimazole ointment and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Genital warts

    Infection with human papillomavirus may cause genital warts, resulting in the growth of granulations on the glans, which are generally cauliflower-shaped. They can be treated with podophyllotoxin ointment, imiquimod cream and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

    In addition to the above-mentioned causes, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by excessive foreskin and other reasons, and it should be done in time.
