What causes red spots on head of penis?
Patient: Hello, For the past few months I ve had a small reddish / brown (very light) spot on the head on my penis. It s in the centre on the front (not near the urethra). STD tests were negative, so I m not concerned about that. It doesn t appear to have changed size, nor is it rigid. It is completely flat. Any thoughts? Doctor: HelloThanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have infection of the glans penis (Ballanitis).You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice dailyEnsure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.Dr.Patil.
