Question : I noticed a very small red dot right outside the opening of my penis head. Only noticed it when looked very closely. Smaller than the size of a pin head or pencil tip. On the outer side skin of the opening.

Not raised; not bleeding; doesn't hurt. I've attached some pictures. Right above the opening in the first time (you can see pigmentation difference) and to the left of the opening on the third.

Any thoughts what it could be?

Thanks.

Nothing to worry

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have also seen the photographs.

Seems to me nothing more than a little abrasion or erosion( most likely traumatic). Nothing significant. Need not worry.
