                                            Question : my penis is uncut and it is a dark red in color shaft and head I am wondering if this is a bacteria? I have no discomfort in urinating but sometimes my groin area feels pressure but again my penis shaft is shining in tone and red
                            
                                    Hi XXXXXXX.
My opinion is that this is probably normal but you need to provide me more information. do you have any rash or discharge? Or tingling or itchy sensation? are u sexually active? do you have burning sensation while urinating? Did the whole penis change color or just some part of it. see yi i am waiting for these answers...
