Woke up to a weird looking 1cm ring on penis glans. Not itchy, no pain. Almost looks swollen? Are all these smaller bumps on glans fordyce/sebaceous/pearly papules?

Googling only gave me results like Balanitis or LS or similar. But this looks so much less intense than all of those pictures. Hopefully this isn't a wart?

Or is this what it's like getting old?

    it looks like a fungal infection

    like a ring worm

    do you have cats?

      Thanks for the reply! its almost unnoticeable after 24 hrs now...online doctor also said fungal.

      I do have a cat - never thought about that possibility.

      I'm plagued by fungal issues - just finished up lotramin for a small jock itch patch on groin. Have a dry scaly dark patch on my foot which lotramin isn't helping with much. Cysts for years on thighs, groin and butt.

      Going to a dermatologist for the first time ever tomorrow - hopefully we'll figure it out and I can update here.

      successful dermatologist appointment!

      they said this is nothing to be concerned about - minor irritation of the glans - not fungal.

      thanks @ICanHelp - really appreciate this forum and what it does for people.

    I don't see anything serious. Looks normal.

    Avoid soap for a couple of days. Use only warm water to clean your penis glans.
