Applying Vaseline For Reddishness Around Penis For Years. Should I Be Worried?
I have been having reddishness around my penis for the past 2-3 years. My urologist has suggested applying Vaseline around it. I see the reddishness sometimes less but it has not gone completely. No other symptoms, no pain. Is this something I need not worry about.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the redness that you are seeing might not be due to any disease or skin lesion but this could be a natural appearance, that does not need any treatment in my opinion the Vaseline, should be stop this is not the medicine, just leave it like that only, when it is not associated with any other symptoms then why to tampered it, stop worrying about this, hope this information helps you take care and have nice day.
