What causes reddish  marks below the rim of the penis?
Patient: I am noticing redish/clearish but painless marks just below the rim of penis that seem to go all around the penis. Im also noticing the tiny red dots on the head of the penis, however i do remember this going away with steroid cream before. Im also noticing that my semen is a yellowish color. And sometimes i feel like im picking up a smell. I am a very worried person and am wondering what i should do Doctor: Hi,Reddish colored rim on penis might be related to allergic reaction, Infection ( like STD), insect bite or injury either during masturbation or tight undergarments. If possible please upload me a photograph and relevant information like your age, whether you are sexually active or not? In my opinion you can apply steroid ointment if you are suspecting a insect bite. Otherwise maintain good hygiene and apply some antibacterial or antiseptic ointment.Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask for follow up question, I will be gladly answer you.Best wishes,Dr. BR Hudda
