So I have had a red patch on the bottom side of my penis for a while now.  It takes up about half or 1/3 of the skin. From the balls to the tip when I touch it if feels fleshy not the same as the skin because there isn’t skin where it is.  It’s not painful or anything its just really easy to see and feel when I touch it. If anyone could help it would be very appreciated.

    Sounds unusual, but it's hard to offer advice without a pic.  How old are you though, how long have you had it, do you have any other medical conditions, and are you sexually active?

    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:

      I’ll try to figure the picture thing out but I have had it for I think a few years now. I’m 17 and back when I was younger I wet the bed A lot, so I kinda figured it was from that. It hasn’t really gone down or up in size for about a year or two now. And sometimes it can get bright red or a little closer to my skin color. I’ll try to figure the picture thing out when I can use a computer

      Thanks

    it could be balanitis as the basic form of the condition is very common, and easy to sort out.  You could start by reading this detail on here:

    https://patient.info/health/balanitis-leaflet

    make sure you check-out all the information there in case what you have is not actually balanitis, the page directs you to other specific, alternative conditions .....

    Should you make no progress from there, are you able to access a doctor to have it checked?
