What could bright red color in the rim of head of penis indicate?
Patient: I am a 74 year-old very healthy male (eat healthily, work out regularly). I just noticed that the rim of the head of my penis is red..almost bright red. If it had always been like that I think I would have noticed. I m cicrumsized. I m single and masturbate three or four times a week. When I have sex it s always with a condom; I haven t had unprotected sex in years, in my last steady relationship. The rim isn t sore but it sure is red. Is this something to be conerned about? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to healthcaremagic.comRedness around the rim of penis, is definitely a matter of concern. Redness is the sign of localised inflammation, which may arise as a result of infection, trauma. Check for any other sign of inflammation such as localised pain, any discharge from penis, burning sensation in and around penis. Advice for you is to consult a venereologist as soon as possible.Thank you.
