Red Spot of base of penis head

Hi, Im a 23 year old uncut guy and for the past few weeks I have noticed a red mark on the base of my penis head. It is smooth with the rest of my skin and does not hurt. I have never had an STD and am terrified of getting one. (I'm a bit of a germaphobe) I don't know how or where this came from. Part of me thought it was just irritation from masturbation and dry skin from winter. Please help! I have attached a pic to hopefully get an answer.

I had same red spots in the glans (glands) for about 1.5 years and I end up getting a circumsicion and got rid of them. Yeast infection or balanitis.

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis, rash due to friction rub with clothes, dermatitis (atopic, contact, allergic),excessive sweating causing sweat dermatitis or balanitis(due to an underlying infection (bacterial and fungal as well as other organisms).

Wash it with fresh water and wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
