Red spot on the head for 7 months.

Does not bring any discomfort (except for psychological).

20, Virgin.

Tried various ointments and antibiotics - didn't help.

The doctor says that this is a vascular spot, but this spot appeared at the age of 19 years, as far as I know it's impossible.

What is this?

in reply to hellobro

It could be a vascular problem as your doc said but to stop the worry you might see an expert at a GUM Clinic.

in reply to hellobro

It could be balantis, yeast infection or just a change in shower gel or body wash, I’m sure if doc was concerned they would have arranged a referral for you.

In my country there is no GUM Clinic.

Whether it is necessary to make a biopsy, or until the spot begins to increase, or hurt, it is better just to ignore it?

in reply to hellobro

Do you have a sexual health clinic in your country? If still concerned check with your gp again that is fine to leave.

No, in my country they are not. If I come to gp, he usually says that this is a vascular spot. There are two options - do a biopsy right now, to find out exactly what it is, or do nothing, until it starts to change.

How long have you had this spot?

in reply to hellobro

Years I’ve had red patches although the head of my penis is darker than yours, I’ve been to gp & sexual health clinic and nobody gives me indication of any problems, it does fade and come & go and doesn’t give me any issues.

Updated a photo. Left - patch after appearance, right - after 7 months.

It seems to me it has increased a little.
