About a week and a half ago, I noticed a small red spot on the head of my penis, and it seemed to fade, but has still been noticeable. Today I uh, this is embarasing, did the thing that guys often do, and got some on the spot. That was about 1 and half hours ago, and for the last 45 minutes, it turned red again, and now is sore to the touch and can feel it just walking around at work. This is a serious question, someone help me shed some light. I don't know what this is it is very sensitive.
P.S.: when i sorta, stretch it out, it almost looks like the thin top layer of skin was peeled off and the skin underneath is sensitive, but im not sure.

Have you been having unprotected sex? If so, run...don't walk...to the doc!

If you aren't circumcised this something normal that happen to a lot of men. Those are signals of irritation or sensitivity to a detergeant used to wash your underwear. since could be anything but not something serious try to keep that area clean at all times, avoid scratching, use less detergeant when washing your underwear or even change brand. It's also recommendable to apply antibiotic cream sold at any drug store no prescription required. Ask to the pharmacist for the best one for sensitive skin. Don't worry, may take some time but it will go away. But just to be in the safe side, visit your doctor if the symptoms doesn't go away.

It's herpes symplex. You will suffer with break outs off and on for the rest of your life. It's very contagious so wear a condom when your with someone.
Break outs happen more often when you're stressed so take a B Complex and Vitamine C seems to help.
I don't usually answer questions like this but this one seems to need an answer. I hope you're not just trying to be funny.

Either a you have a scrape on your penis (ouch), you have an STD (bummer), or you have an infection or injury of some other sort (Poison ivy? Zipper issues? Masterbating too much?). I'd get it checked out just to be sure, could be serious.

I suggest seeing a doctor, definitely. It may just be a blister. Or an STD.. Or an infection. In any case, it's on a sensitive part of your body and you should definitely get it checked out!!

well honestly it could be anything from a zit to a friction burn to a STD. go see a doctor and just get it checked you will feel much much better about knowing what it is and hey good time to ask the doctor some questions about testicular cancer and how to screen.

Did you zip it up in your pants?
Seriously, are you sexually active? It could very well be Herpes if you are. If it hurts by just walking, it is a concern to go to the docs. If it is an STD, you need to get on meds so u can be treated and not spread it.

If you are not sure, please check with your physician. You should ask any kind of health concern to health professionasl first, not the general public. It's a delicate matter, your doctor might diagnose it by having some sort of tests.

I am no DR but would suggest you see one. It could be ring worm, if the circle goes outward and gets bigger. I still would go see a DR. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your valuable "assett"

Did you cut yourself? Perhaps you're masturbating too much and you chaffed your penis. Just wash it well, and gently and see if it looks any better tomorrow. If not, get to your doc.
