What Is A Small Red Circle Like Thing On The Inside Part Of The Penis Head Under The Foreskin?

Hi Doc. My question is that my penis has a small red circle like thing on the inside part of its head under the foreskin. I saw it today but a few days back I had seen a white jello type something while I was masturbating. i want to know what it is and I want to know if it is harmful to me or if it will go away after some time without any damage.

Hello,

Be gentle with yourself and take care of your hygiene. It can occur due to irritation due to prolonged or excessive masturbation. Keep the affected moisturized with a water-based moisturizer. It can also occur due to balanitis or eczema. Apply Daktacort cream, on the area affected 2 times/day for one week, then once a day for a week. Do not wash with soap, use only lukewarm water.

If it is itchy, you can apply hydrocortisone ointment twice daily for 1 week, then once daily for 1 week, slowly taper as it gets better. During sex or masturbation, apply lubricant to avoid friction. Applying moisturizer several times a week will prevent recurrences. To stay on the safer side, you can get STD test done if you are sexually active. If test report is positive for STI, you will be treated with antiviral / antibiotics.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
