hi im a 16 year old male. i have redness around the opening of my penis and i am not sexual active. its driving me crazy to figure out what this is if anybody has any advice please let me kno.
Hi Guest,
By "opening" do you mean the foreskin, if you are not circumcised, or do you mean the urethra, where the urine comes out?
If you are not circumcised the tissue could be irritated just from erections.
It's also possible that you need to clean under your foreskin, remove smegma.
i am circumsized
it is where the urine comes out but around the hole not inside
We can rule out STD's if you haven't been sexually active.
Could it be from an irritant such as soap or lotions that you use?
Is it rubbing on clothing, causing a mechanical injury?
It is a fairly common issue and should resolve on its own.
