Red/Pink Spot on Penis Gland

by bmr32, Dec 16, 2007 11:31AM

Tags: irritable

On head of my penis, on one side of the opening of my penis, I have red./pink spot that is shaped like a half diamond. The red/pink skin feels a little tough but do not have any pain or itching. I noticed the spot a month ago (two months after i last had sex) and since then it has not changed. I plan on going to the doctor soon but I was wondering if this sounds like a genital wart?

No, it definitely does not sound like a wart, or any other STD either for that matter. Ir's probably just irritation of some sort. Let it be and show the doctor when you go.

Best.
