I was circumsized 6 years ago when I was
10. I think about a year ago a red spot
appeared on it. I thought it was just a
little blood clot/ burst tiny vein or
something like that, and it would go away.
But it has only grown bigger since. The
edge of my glans, especially on the upper
side, are red too and there are some tiny
red veins on the sides of the glans. I
have looked everywhere on the internet but
can't find anything about it.
What might this be? I'm worried that it
might not go away or even get worse or
that it's something dangerous.
Would really appreciate any comments.

BUMP.
BTW, it doesn't hurt or anything. But it
doesn't look normal I think

When you get circumcized, especially when
it's later on in life (IE: not infancy),
the exposed glans goes through a lot of
changes because of the friction/elements
it experiences outside of the foreskin.
This red spot you're encountering could
just be a reaction to the lack of
foreskin, especially since you've had it
since you were circumcised. Is it
painful/uncomfortable? If it is, see a
doctor. If it bothers you and you think
you should have it looked at, then I would
advise going to see a doctor for sure!

It's not painful or anything. It feels
normal, to me... That's why I never paid
much attention to it and thought it would
go away but I don't know... it just
doesn't look very healthy.

I think it looks like psoriasis, but also
a bit like lichen sclerosus.
So I think it would be good to see a
docter, even though im embarressed...
