HI i am a uncircumcised male, ive noticed that around the urethra opening is midly red, while the bottom of the head of my penis (i dont know what its called) Is also quite red. Do you have any suggestions for how to get rid of this? should i go to the doctors?
thanks dudes!
Hi Max. I have a good idea what it is because, I too have had the same problem. I am uncut also (much better!) and also had the rednesss around the opening of the urethra; my knob (glans) and around the rim if the Corona. I bet you have what is called Ballinitis. It's a fungal infection which can be celared up by using a cream called Clotrimazole. I understand it can be bought over the counter but I did go to my GP and he prescribed it. I think a stronger version of the same cream is available, containing hydrocortisone, which is on prescription. Wash your head and under your foreskin in just water. Don't use soap or shower gel. Mine cleared but the GP said it could be 2/3 weeks - and he was right. Let me know.Send a private reply using the grey envelope under the name.

I think you should go to doctor because according to me may be you are suffering from urinary tract infection.
well i prusume that a urinary tract infection would hurt? i feel no pain whatso ever, just the redness
Agree with jonno. In the photo it is pretty mild I'd guess. It can be caused by taking antibiotics I had a very bad bout following Trimethiprin [I now report allegry to this and given red band in hosptal].
When i saw my lovely female doctor she said "ouch" although in fact it does not hurt.
Clotrimizole is I think sold under the trade name of Canesten which comes in the form of a cream to rub on and can be combined with a capsule [treating inside and out as it were]. This dual thing is usually supplied to women and if you try to buy it the pharmacist may query. In my case it cleared within a few days.
It is highly unlikely that you have got an STI. They are usually painful. As the old song says. "Lord how it stings when you pee, these foolish things, remind me of you"
Hi Simon. Are we the only Wise Men .. where's the third.
I am convinced we are right because we agree!
You must be right though - in truth - I do not feel particularly wise at present
No, me neither Simon - especially when it comes to computers!
It amazes me often how people come up with the oddest suggestions 'urinary tract infection' indeed. And, Dr Jac, particularly funny.
Buck up!
Hey Max. Try using a penis health creme. These are made for guys and can help with all sorts of skin issues down there, redness included. Just make sure you get a creme with all natural ingredients. You do not want to put some weird chemical onto your penis!! Good luck!
Hi Max don't know how long ago this thread was or how old you are but that picture could be my penis did you find out and cure the problem in the end hope you did wishing you well
please,give me the prescription of the ointment that treats the red penis.
give the composition
Pal does this look normal to you..? Just i dont see other mens penises so dont really know if am just being paranoid or what...? Thanks 
Im haveing a issue also. The foreskin opening is swelling and also the head is red. Im not the type to go to the doctor. My wife is pregnant. But the few time weve tried to have sex it seems like the forskin in scretching too much. And when i pull the head back in the forskjn is swollen from the inside after sex. This has never happened in all my 31 years of living till the last fews to a month. Anyone has any ideal of what that is? Then itll be irritated for about a week
is Nadimix cream will work on tis i have the same problem and yellow pluse like think is also there on the tip of my penis wiith red patches
It's probably cause you have beaten your meat to much times. If so give it a week or a week and a half. If it's still red I recommend seeing a doctor.
I have the EXACT same issue you just described, Christopher. Has it resolved? If so, what fixed it?
Question
Are you diabetic?
I have same issues but I am a 60 yr old make w diabetes. My foreskin has difficulty going over the head which causes tearing of the foreskin and Balanitis which is red shiny blotches or shiny red of the head of the penis. I use a steroid I put on the foreskin which helps to loosen the foreskin so it may go over the head without pain or tearing of the skin.
Is this something you are experiencing.
Hello, I do not know if I have the same issue but it seems pretty close . The head of my penis is reddish too and have used clotrimazole and fluconazole and it is still reddish .. I did think it was as result of jacking off too much but I am not seeing improvement. What can I do
I had a condition similar to you. It started with a sore tip of the penis when I was
Showering. I had a solid rash between my legs. This lasted over a month.
After many visits to the doctor I was given a referral to dermatologist.
The immediate answer was psoriasis. I didn’t think it was skin condition initially.
Because it was a solid rash. Psoriasis is has circular spots with dry skin inside.
Those spots developed much later than the original symptoms.
The cream they prescribed works miracles on the penis. But not so much so on the
rest of my body. Good Luck.
