Penis Head help

Hi
I am worried about my penis head.
When I was younger I used to masturbate without pulling my foreskin down and until I was 15 I did not know I had to clean my penis head by pulling the foreskin down.  my penis head is slightly white and red in places and looks like semen has dried over my head over time. I tried to clean it but it dont work.
I have taken a picture so you can have a look and see if you think I need to go to my doctors. The pic is not really clear, At the bottom of the dead its red and at the tip but elsewhere its slightly white,

Hi just wash the glans with warm water and don't use soap or anything that could irritate the skin. Make sure that you pull the foreskin back all the way so that you can get good acces to the glans.

All the best.

Hi it looks like you will need to wash the glans daily, there is nothing serious to worry about. It might have a bit of balanitis. You can use an antifungal cream. Just make sure to wash the glans as often as you can.

All the best,

Ron

Hello,
Unfortunately the picture could not be opened. But from the pictures it looks like rash due to rub with clothes and inadequate hygiene and infection. Retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.

Hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hi, I think that you will be able to clean your penis on a daily basis. This should clean up over time.
I could not view the file that you have sent as it seems to be forbidden.
What you seem to call dry semen is most likely smegma, a substance which the penis produces to lubricate the glans of the penis. This will need to be washed on a daily.
You will be OK.

All the best.
