Red spot on penis glans (pics). Skin shaffed or something else?

Posted , 11 users are following.

Hey everyone, I had previously posted about this in another group but I have not received many responses. This is something that has had me extremely anxious, and has completely taken over my mind. Today marks 8 days since I discovered what seemed to be a red spot on my penis glans, on the corona. Initially noticing it I obviously had all the worries about STD’s, but after researching I feel like what I have doesn’t really compare to anything like herpes, warts, or syphillis, but I still have extreme anxiety over this. 

I first noticed the spot after masturbating in the shower. Based on experience, water and friction don’t really mix too well. I had also engaged in sexual foreplay the day before where I received oral sex, and masturbated. There was also a lot of rubbing involved. Besides that, I had been masturbating more frequently in general. So this led me to believe that it could possibly be injured. Only thing is that the spot didn’t seem to hurt, only time I may have felt a slight something was right after noticing it after I had masturbated within that following hour.

Anyway, after a week I hadn’t really seen any changes until the day before yesterday, and yesterday as well. Saturday night I took a picture where it seems like the spot was a bit dry and less red, but the following day after I showered  it seemed to be more red and what seemed to be more raw? I have not masturbated since last Tuesday to see if maybe it heals, but it seems to be taking a while. 

The photos I have posted are from the night that I noticed the drying, and from the following morning after I took a reasonably long shower. So I don’t know if maybe that caused it to look more raw? Is it possible that because I am uncircumcised it is not able to really breathe and heal faster? Mind you, I tend to have my foreskin retracted often just because I am able to and I feel like my glans stay cleaner like that, but the bunched up foreskin still tends to go over that area a bit. 

I have been EXTREMELY anxious about this all week and worry that it could possibly be something bad but I am just not too sure. It looks like maybe the skin on that spot is shaffed or ripped? I’m just not to sure. 

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, opinions or suggestions as I feel very alone in worrying about this. Thanks.

    i need help with this, i got similar red spots randomly on my tip, they are barely noticeable but are noticeable after masterbation or after sex, if i stop having sex they get less red and start die down but wont go away completely. i got a skin irritation burn or skin friction i think on the side of my tip but im overall worried about the spots. I think the little light skinned streaks are my skin that has been friction burned off.

    PLEASE HELP ASAP
