Weird recurring redness on my penis head

by davidka, Sep 30, 2009 06:50PM
Alright .. so i have this problem
Im 18 years old and for the past 2 months or so ive been experiencing this condition on my penis head. It all started one morning at the end of august, when i notices that my penis head had these pinkish red blotches in random areas of the head (not raised) but this cleared up by the end of the day. I started noticing that my glans was looking wrinkly and felf more sensitive. As days past it didnt change much but i started noticing little tiny red dots that were under the the glands skin but they arent raised or anything, you can just see them. My glands eventually was covered in these red dots that didnt hurt at all, werent itch and pretty much had no discomfort exept for my confidence. See the weird part however is that some days it completely goes away and my penis looks normal, but it always seems to return.
It also seems like the skin on my glands is dry because it kinda looks shiny and wrinkly at times.
i must say that the redness is most focust on the top side of the head and usually when it gets really irrated or red it focuses in the top area but you can still see the tinny red dots on the sides of the head .
im thinking that this redness is just made up of millions of the tinny red dots becuase when it starts clearing up you can see how the tiny red dots start dissappearing. Im not sure if ths may be linked to the skin conditions but i rarly get this quick pain in my testicles. It only lasts a second but it can reccur sometimes for a bit than completly goes away. I know this is a very discriptive question but if anyone else has experienced this and can tell me when it goes away or what can help it that would be great. One last thing, when my penis is fully hard .. i mean fully hard .. my penis head looks really red and get irritated from masterbation (masturbation), you can also that these head is not smooth like it used to be 3 months ago ...... whhatttsss goingg onn ... cause my syptoms (symptoms) dont match all the stds ive red up on

To: davidka,
Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be contact dermatitis, rash due to friction rub, folliculitis, cysts ,molluscum contagiosum(multiple, small, dome-shaped papules, often with a central depression or plug) or genital warts(caused by HPV infection). It does not sound like any STD.

Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
