For the past 3 or so years there has been a small tear underneath the skin of the glans penis. It's on the rim of the penis and if you were looking vertically down at the penis, it would be at about 11:00. This has never been an open wound and has never presented any pain. It's red and about 1/16th inch in diameter, maybe slightly bigger. It's also a tad raised but has not texture. If I apply pressure the blood(redness) disappears, but when I stop applying pressure, the blood fills up the the space again. I've read descriptions about what it could be, but nothing has matched. I'm a virgin and don't think it is anything serious.
I think it looks like a blood vessel under the skin popped from friction and hasn't been able to heal because of the constant blood flow in the penis. I tried applying scar gel for like 3 months and it didn't do anything unfortunately.
Anyone have advice to heal this? I should probably be asking somewhere else because to me it doesn't really seem like a penile issue, but a skin issue.

I don't think it is serious or even anything to worry about from your description either. It is not uncommon to have a blood vessel visible under the skin, especially on the penis. The skin is very thin.
If you do choose to pursue this, for your peace of mind, I'd suggest a visit to a urologist. This is their area of expertise. They should be able to quickly tell you what it is and if anything needs to be addressed.
Again, I do not think, from your description, that there is anything that needs to be done.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the response, I also feel that it is nothing to worry about. However, cosmetically I don't like it and would prefer to have it healed :-)
I can understand that.
Check with a dermatologist for treatment options.

Anyone else has a similar issue?
I've got the same issue, more likely to be from shaving (in my case) though.
A red/dark red roughly a cm across the shaft of my penis.
I'm not worried as I know for a fact that it doesn't interrupt or cause any discomfort to me.

Hey i have a slight issue. After watching extreme male beauty i was intrigued by the idea of growing my penis. On the 3rd day of jelqing towards the end i felt a slight pain and noticed a red lump at the top of my glans approx 1cm long and 5mm wide. It is slightly painful but has only happened in the last few hours. Since its happened it has darkened in colour going from a deep red to a blue/black colour.
Just slightly concerned what it is, not sure if its just a burst vessel in my glans and whether or not its worth going to my local doctor.
Any help would be brilliant.
