On the area above my penis there are small red patches of skin, around hair follicles. they are not bumps and are not itchy. ive never had sex. im looking to know what they are and how i could get rid of them. thank you

Folliculitis: Redness of skin around hair follicles most likely represents inflammation/infection. Absence of itching is against this being an allergic reaction. Keep the area clean and dry and apply an antibacterial ointment like bacitracin. Avoid tight fitting jeans and wear white cotton underwear. See a physician if redness persists or worsens.
