Brief Answer: Looks normal Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about your concerns and all the disturbing thoughts this must have caused you. I have reviewed the image and information provided and there is just no reason to get worried. The rim of this penis does not look inflamed. A capital sign of inflammation is pain and it would be extremely unlikely for an inflamed penis not to hurt when the glans are very very sensitive to sensations. I will advise that you don't get worried by this. Monitor and if anything abnormal should set in, let us know. Are you sexually active and do you always protect yourself during intercourse? Nothing here suggest an STD but, always endeavor to use condoms each time you have sex. I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health. Dr. Ditah, MD.
