Hello, I notice a small area of skin 3/4 way up my penis shaft that was a different color than the skin around it. It started out a mild pinkish color and today it has turned to a noticeable red color. There is no pain or itching and if it is raised it is very slightly raised if at all. It s slightly smaller than the head of a pencil eraser and I was wondering what this could possible be? I had a full std test done about 6 weeks ago and everything came back negative. I have not been sexually active in those 6 weeks however I have masturbated. Any explanation on what this could be?
Hello had gone through your question very diligently, and I can understand your concern STDs can manifest from 2 days to 6 weeks after contracting infection. So its possibility cant be ruled out. Another possibility is injury or inflammation during masturbation. In my opinion you should apply antiseptic or antibacterial ointment for a week or avoid sex or masturbation for week or 10 days. Let it heal naturally. If it doesn't improve, Then you should consult doctor for Series of investigations in order to establish a diagnosis and further course of action. Hope this helps you Please do let me know if you have further queries. Best wishes
