Why does the skin of penis crack?

This is a common disease in life, mainly caused by bacterial infection, especially in hot summer, which is the main season for bacterial spread and breeding. This phenomenon is particularly serious, and other parts may also be infected by the virus.

First, because the sexual partner has fungal vaginitis, he or she will be infected again after sex. Therefore, it is recommended that their sexual partners also go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination to determine whether they have vaginitis. Clinically, if a man has balanitis or a woman has vaginitis, both men and women should undergo relevant examinations and receive joint treatment. Otherwise, if only one party receives treatment and there is no protective measures during sex, it will be cross-infected to the other party.

Second, the patient may have high blood sugar. Diabetic patients have local skin lesions, and the exudate is richer in nutrients than normal people, making it easy for bacteria to grow, and the skin lesions are difficult to recover. Therefore, if a man has recurrent balanitis and his sexual partner does not have vaginitis, it is necessary to consider whether the man has systemic diseases such as diabetes.

Third, it may be inflammation caused by excessive foreskin. Male foreskin is too long, making it difficult for the glans to be exposed, and the coronal sulcus and glans area tend to harbor dirt and evil. If you don't pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia, bacteria will breed and produce smegma, which will stimulate local mucosal inflammation. At this time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to prevent inflammation from retrograde and causing urethritis. If a person with excessive foreskin has recurring balanitis, circumcision surgery should be considered.

Candida balanitis: It is more common when the foreskin is too long and there is a history of unclean sex. The foreskin and glans of the penis are mildly flushed. There may be white cheese-like patches on the inner plate of the foreskin and the coronal groove of the glans. The glans may have pinhead-sized light red papules. If it invades the outside of the foreskin and the scrotum, scaly erythema may be seen. If the navicular fossa is involved, frequent urination and dysuria may occur. There may be local burning sensation and itching. Occasionally, fulminant edematous balanitis may occur, which is mainly characterized by obvious edema, severe itching, and shallow ulcers on the foreskin of the penis.
