A member asked:

I have my head penis which has a red inflammation on it but it does hurt or anything but i don't know what it is. can you help me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: See your doctor immediately while the rash is still there. Once it fades the diagnosis may be much more difficult. Could easily be an std.
