What Causes Redness On The Penile Head Region In Men?

I am a 53-year-old and I am circumcised. I have a 4 x 4 mm reddish flat area below the penile head, it does not itch or have pain, sometimes it almost appears normal in color but at other times it becomes more reddish, there is no discharge and does not appear to have any bumps, I have not had a sexual partner in two years and as far as I know I do not have an STD, any thoughts?

Hello
Thanks for query .

The red dish flat area beneath glans penis is mostly due to infection of glans penis (Ballanitis).

It could result from contamination by inner wares or due to masturbation .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily .along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

It should get cured within a week .
