Rash on Shaft of Penis?

[chris_uk_lad]

Hi,

For a while now, ive noticed under the foreskin the shaft is red with slight sore sensation which can be felt with the foreskin up or down. Im not aware how often it is there but ive only really noticed it in a state of arrousal.

Im not sure what other details i can give you, any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,

This could be - pearly penile papules or fordyce spots. You would need to consult your doctor for a confirmed diagnosis.

'Pearly penile papules are multiple, small (about 1-3mm) papules running around the circumference of the crown of the glans penis. They typically develop in men aged 20 to 40, and around 10 per cent of all men are affected. They may be mistaken for warts, are not infectious and require no treatment.'

'Fordyce spots are small (1-5mm) bright red or purple papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and usually affect younger men. They may occur as a solitary lesion, but frequently appear in crops of 50 to 100. They are painless and not itchy, but may cause embarrassment because of their appearance, or a fear that they might be sexually transmitted. '

Let us know if you need any further information.

Post us about what your doctor advises.

Regards.

thanks for the quick response, is it possible that is in anyway associated with problems with gaining an irrection or tightness of the foreskin?
