Hello all,
Last time I had sex was past December, since then I did not have sexual encounter. Few days ago I was masterubating and I felt a little burn down there. I checked and it was the following redness at my penis *See PIC*

Should I be worried? Is it serious? I called in to make an appointment with a doctor but I AM FREAKING OUT. I am seriously considering going to emergency care.
i dont think you need to worry. how often do you masterbate. this could also be the cause of this. due to irritation. and did you use anything to masterbate with. this also could be a cause. if there is burning from urination then yes you should be a little concerned but getting to the ER will not make it go away any faster
I don't use anything to masturbate with. I guess old school using my hand up and down *sorry for too much details*
No burning while urinating.

Hi, how old are you?...
I am 22
OK Saab thaks, I guess it maybe a kind of STD, I hope there isn't but make sure to visit a doctor.
It seems to calmed down. No burn or anything and the redness is going away. I am trying to get an appointment with the free clinic *only thing I can afford*
I forgot to mention: I have a history of Shingles Herpes zoster it comes and goes. Usually around my legs * area surrounding my penis* but never on my penis. Could it be that it spread on my penis?
OK, I am happy you are better right now, becarefully, and remember masturbation is the most safe method to get fun, sexual intercourse sometimes carry illneses. Good luck.
and yes, Herpes zoster could be spread some places of your body including penis and scrotum. :(
Went to the doctor today, he said its is some sort of Yest that men get. Usually because that area is moist and the summer weather contribute to it. He gave me a medicine that i have to apply to that area twice a day. I am relieved it is not an STD.
Thank you all!
