Red ring around my cock

So I’ve recently realised I have a red ring of skin at the top of my cock which is redder than the rest of the skin below, anyone know why?

Note: I am not circumcised

Hi, you might have some inflammation there do you have any soreness or tightness in the foreskin? If you try some fungal cream from the chemist first and see how that goes.

That red ring as you call it is your inner foreskin. As it is thinner and more sensitive than shaft skin it will easily look reddish with use/abuse.

Do you normaly keep your foreskin retracted?

If so the natural lubricants are evaporating without benefit to the skin.

You may also have gotten a handjob from someone not familiar with a foreskin.

Whatever the case rub a little baby oil, coconut oil, bio oil, aloa vera or whatever oil fancies you. Yes cooking oil can work in a pinch too. Olive oil can be great.

Do this a couple of times a day till it calms down and after that every now and then.

Oh, a BJ from an overly ambitious partner can cause this too.

Can be just friction from sex or masterbation but watch isn't soap or shower gel causing it then you end losing your foreskin m8 use coconut oil and try not to tug to hard on wanking m8 been here but now cicumsize guy as per post cicumsize wise but looks ok m8 dicks change colour with age slightly and veins etc but wouldn't worry your looking fine

You have a very nice uncircumcised penis, inflammation can be a major problem because of the hill of the foreskin, which is known as the tip of the foreskin. Coconut oil is the best anti-inflammatory agent to use on your penis.

Not what you're looking for?
