Somewhat concerned: Redness and swelling are a sign of inflammation. Inflammation can be caused by a number of things. A few causes of inflammation are mechanical trauma such as friction from sex, staying chronically wet between the head (glans) of your penis and the foreskin, yeast infections, and bacterial infections. You should follow-up with a doctor if you think you have a infection.
