Weird red spot on my penis

Posted , 4 users are following.

This spot appeared on my penis yesterday and don't know what it could be. Thought it might be balanitis or friction burn? I masturbated a few times the day before and also fell asleep without showering. I did receive unprotected oral 7 months ago but tested for STDs 1 month and 4 months after and everything came back negative, any ideas of what this could be?image

    It does look like a possible friction burn or skin tear from masturbation. Avoid washing with soap and use only warm water and pat dry afterwards. Do not attempt to self treat with creams from the pharmacy. I made that mistake and things got way worse. Avoid masturbation if possible for a few days and if it's not healing you could get it checked by a doctor who might prescribe a steroid cream.
