    Could be balanitis.  How long has it been like that?

    If you could post a pic, that might help:

      I think its not serious but i m concerned.

      I am 19 and uncircumsised. A small part of my tip is more pink than red in colour with a pink vein attached visible when u see carefully.

      Yeah, probably not serious, but it does sound strange.

      If you're using a phone, then try requesting the PC/desktop version of the site in your browser to post a pic, or if that doesn't work, try it from a PC or laptop.

      Could you get a pic like that first one, but in focus?  The second pic looks fine, but the "vein" you mention might actually be your penile raphe.

      Can you retract your foreskin behind your glans btw?  If not, then you have phimosis, which would concern me more.

      It looks like your foreskin goes on a little bit longer at the end than in most men.  Doesn't look like anything to worry about to be honest, but you could have the tip removed if it's causing irritation or for cosmetic reasons.

    Not that it matters, but my partner had to deal with this (looked very much the same) and the doctor cut if off.  It was amazingly simple, no pain, no blood, and within a day no longer visable.  It may not matter because there's no guarantee it is the same thing.

    The thing is, unless one of us can identify it exactly, you can't be sure.  So in my opinion you are really left no option but to have a doc look at it.

    Hello :-)

    ?Your photos doesn't appear to indicate anything unusual. Differences in colour of the skin also on the genetalies is rather common. That the inner-foreskin and "peehole" is likely to appear as more pink in color than the rest, I would believe is what's the most common and if that's what bothers you, then you wouldn't need to worry too much about it. :-)
