Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help or has any idea what's up. The other day, my girlfriend noticed some redness on the underside of my penis around the frenulum. It started out as just looking like a bit of irritation but has got worse over the past few days and kinda looks like a ring shape.

I have not changed my soaps or anything like that, and I'm putting condom allergy out of the picture as I've been using the same condoms for around a year now with no issues (or am I wrong to put them out of the picture?)

It's really strange because there is no irritation whatsoever, no itching, no burning sensation, nothing. It's almost as if it's not there, and also why I didn't notice it till my partner said something... I've googled the net and all I can find is stuff to do with itchy rashes, but not sure if this is a rash, and as I say there is no irritation.

Not sure if it matters either but I'm circumcised, and the redness is around the left side of the frenulum / under the glans kinda thing. Can provide a pic if that would help.

If anyone has any idea what the problem could be, would be awesome, and whether or not you think it's really important to go see the G.P (I prefer not to go unless I absoloutely have to as it means booking time off work).

Thanks in advance for any advice, cheers.
