REDNESS ON PENIS

by suuny123, Jul 15, 2008 02:52AM
Dear sir,

i have been noticing a redness on the head of my penis from last 20 days. It has not been continous. It is there on some days and then it is completely gone. it is not paining, no irritation also no swelling. there are no bumps or blisters that open up. Can you help me about what it can be . Also there was a little white peeling a couple of times near the underskin. I am very tensed. Can it be any STD's. As I have always used a condom when having oral or normal sex. Please help me about what it can be.

Thanks,

sunny123

I doubt that it is an STD or anything at all.  It is probably just mild irritation from friction.  I think you should just wash gently, apply moisture lotion, and let the redness take care of itself.

Best.
