Red sore in pubic area

Red sore in pubic area

Just this morning in the shower I noticed a kind of red sore in my pubic area directly above my penis.  I have never had anything like this in that area before.  It is not perfectly circular in shape but does have a little bit of that look.  It is not sore, does not itch, and does not really hurt.  I have had sex recently but it has been with my long term girlfriend and we have been only with each other.  Could it be some sort of irritation from a condom rubbing against it, as it is in the area where the condom rolls down to.  Looking for any guesses or answers you may have.  Thank you!

Yes, I think it probably is irritation.  It does not sound like an STD.  However, I obviously can't offer more than an educated guess without seeing it.  Try avoiding friction, keep the area moist (vaseline and the like), and set up a doctor's appointment so you'll know for sure.

Best.
