What Causes Raised Red Patches On Head Of Penis?

Posted on Sat, 14 Mar 2015

Question: Hello, I have 3 red patches on the head of my penis, around the edges... they are all shaped differently. They are red, smooth/shiny and slightly raised, sometimes not. They do get more red a swollen with activity, but do not hurt. Do not think is STD at all, but its rather unsightly and annoying. Any ideas what could be or help? Thank you kindly.
