    A burning sensation on the glans may be caused by diseases such as balanitis, glans eczema, and genital warts.

    1. Balanitis

    After the glans is infected by bacteria, it may lead to balanitis, which may also cause local burning and pain. It can be treated with oral administration of cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin capsules, roxithromycin capsules and other drugs under guidance.

    2. Glans eczema

    After the skin is irritated by allergens, it may cause glans eczema, which may also cause many small red bumps to appear on the skin, accompanied by itching. It can be treated with oral administration of chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride, and loratadine tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Genital warts

    Genital warts are mainly caused by infection with the HPV virus, which may cause warts to appear on the skin and may cause a burning sensation. Treatment can be done with laser or freezing methods.

    In addition to the above reasons, it is not ruled out that it is caused by a long foreskin. It is still necessary to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause.
