A member asked:
The head of my penis is red and a little white. i do have foreskin and when i fold it back it also is red and a little white and there's a red line.

Probably normal: You are probably seeing normal tissue with pink color from blood vessels. The white color could be too much moisture, and your skin could be macerated. If the red line is new, then this may be concern for infection of some type. Overall, i would simply suggest daily washing and hygiene.
