Same here. I have shown it to two (female) GPs.

Neither was helpful.

Hello,
Since you have never had unprotected intercourse, chances of any STD are nil. From the symptoms the possibility of chafing and friction rub due to masturbation can be some of the possibilities. But since it has been present for such a long time, the chronic diseases that I have mentioned above also need to be ruled out. Please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
Although the red color near the tip of penis is unlikely due to any STD but to confirm the diagnosis, I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done. The conditions which I have mentioned are non contagious and cannot be transmitted to your partner.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

Hello,
From the symptoms it is not suggestive of any STD. It can be simple irritated skin, dermatitis, friction rub or eczema or psoriasis if it has a particular border. Since it has been present for the past 2 years, I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get the diagnosis confirmed by getting a biopsy skin done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
