Circular appearance on glans penis

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am not sure how long its been visible. But for the last couple of months i noticed there appears to be somewhat of a circular ring shaped appearance near the tip. The appearance of the ring changes it seems to go away sometimes when the penis becomes more moist. The area will also sometimes have small white flakes when it becomes more dry. Im just trying to get somewhat of an opionion of what it could possibly be.

    Try an antifungal cream like Canesten or Daktarin.

    Probably just balanitis, but it's hard to say without a pic.

    If you want to add a pic, you need to be on a PC or laptop with a large window.  If you are, then you should see some extra icons towards the top right of where you type, and the right hand icon (which I think is supposed to look like the sun over hills) will add images.

    The pic I've attached here shows the icons:
