Slight irritation

[Johnny1309]

I'm 24 y/o and healthy. For a month now I've had a slight irritation on the head of my penis. It's barely noticeable. I usually only notice it when I think about it. There is also a line/wrinkle on the head as well. It's slightly raised but not too noticeable. It's only noticeable when not erect. It doesn't hurt or burn or itch. There is no discoloration either. I showed the doctor and he said it was nothing. It still has not gone away and that bothers me. He did mention that I stress too much. Could that be the cause. I've only been sexually active with my girfriend. Any idea of what this could be? Is the doctor right about saying it's nothing?

Yes I am circumcised. I've only noticed it for a month but it's possible it may have been there longer. Like I said, you have to really look to notice it. I keep an eye on it every day and it hasn't gotten worse. But it's still there so it bothers me mentally.

Doctors see many patients, you see only you, I assume.  You're far more likely to be aware of change / a trend, and changes can be a good clue or symptom..

While this sounds innocuous I suggest if readily able, that you keep a photographic record of the area of concern, to see later if there is a continuing trend or change, and to have something you could show your doctor later.  

Are you circumsized or uncircumsized?
