Q: Treating red penis foreskin

asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 9th, 2009

i have a red spot on my bell end. Its not lumpy, doesnt hurt and i have not had sex.

My foreskin moves back relatively freely (although may this spot be caused by friction) i masturbate on average once per day

i have tried to caneston cream and it hasnt done much over the course of 4 weeks

i have had the spot for over a year

how can i get rid of it? My foreskin is relatively free but can sometimes struggle to go back over the largest bit of the bellend when fully erect

It is hard to say what the red spot is without seeing it. The dimension of the spot, how long is it present and if it spreads might have been helpful.
The red spot might be a minor angioma. Angiomas are benign tumors which are made of small blood vessels or lymph vessels.
You might check yourself it the red spot might really be angioma. You might press it with glass. In case of angioma the spot might turn less red or completely disappears due to the emptied blood or lymph vessels.
